The first task is to install the Yoruba OCR package to your .NET project.

Install-Package IronOCR.Languages.Yoruba

Code Example

This C# code example reads Yoruba text from an image or PDF document.

// Remember to install the package first:
// PM> Install-Package IronOcr.Languages.Yoruba

using IronOcr;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Create a new instance of the IronTesseract OCR engine
        var Ocr = new IronTesseract();

        // Set the OCR language to Yoruba
        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Yoruba;

        // Specify the image or PDF file to read
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Yoruba.png"))
        {
            // Perform OCR on the input file
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);

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

            // Output the recognized text
            Console.WriteLine("Recognized Text: ");
            Console.WriteLine(AllText);
        }
    }
}
// Remember to install the package first:
// PM> Install-Package IronOcr.Languages.Yoruba

using IronOcr;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Create a new instance of the IronTesseract OCR engine
        var Ocr = new IronTesseract();
