Code Example

This C# code example demonstrates how to read Welsh text from an image or PDF document.

// Import the IronOcr namespace
using IronOcr;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Create an instance of IronTesseract
        var Ocr = new IronTesseract();

        // Set the language to Welsh
        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Welsh;

        // Read text from the given image
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Welsh.png"))
        {
            // Perform OCR and get the result
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);

            // Extract all recognized text
            var AllText = Result.Text;

            // Output text to the console
            Console.WriteLine(AllText);
        }
    }
}
// Import the IronOcr namespace
using IronOcr;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Create an instance of IronTesseract
        var Ocr = new IronTesseract();

        // Set the language to Welsh
        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Welsh;

        // Read text from the given image
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Welsh.png"))
        {
            // Perform OCR and get the result
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);

            // Extract all recognized text
            var AllText = Result.Text;

            // Output text to the console
            Console.WriteLine(AllText);
        }
    }

In this code:

  • We start by using the IronOcr namespace to access OCR functionalities.
  • We create an instance of IronTesseract, which is the main class provided by IronOCR for performing OCR operations.
  • The OCR language is set to Welsh using Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Welsh.
  • We open an image file named Welsh.png located in the images directory for OCR processing.
  • Finally, the Ocr.Read(Input) method reads the text from the image, and the extracted text is stored in AllText.
  • The recognized Welsh text is then printed to the console.
