Where does OcrHandwritingResult live in the IronOCR API?

OcrHandwritingResult is a class in the IronOcr namespace, shipped in IronOcr.dll. It derives from Object, implements IOcrResult, and is returned by IronTesseract.ReadHandwriting.

How do you read handwriting from an image in C#?

Call IronTesseract.ReadHandwriting to get an OcrHandwritingResult, then read Text for the full transcription. Iterate TextLines to keep line positions, or call SaveAsTextFile to write the words to a file.

Class OcrHandwritingResult

Result from ReadHandwriting(OcrInputBase)

Give an access to: Text, Confidence, and TextLines.

Inheritance

System.Object

OcrHandwritingResult

Implements

IronSoftware.Abstractions.Ocr.IOcrResult

Namespace: IronOcr

Assembly: IronOcr.dll

Syntax

public class OcrHandwritingResult : Object

Recognized handwriting, line by line, lives on OcrHandwritingResult. It is the object IronTesseract.ReadHandwriting hands back, holding the transcribed text of a handwritten image along with where each line sits, so a developer reads the words and keeps the on-page layout from one result.

Text returns the full transcription as a single string, the quickest way to pull every recognized word at once. Confidence reports the average per-character accuracy where 1 equals 100 percent, a signal worth checking because handwriting reads less reliably than print. TextLines is a list of OcrHandwritingResult.TextLine entries, each a recognized line with its position on the input, which lets code preserve line breaks or map text back to the image. SaveAsTextFile writes the result straight to a plain .txt file when only the words are needed. Read Text for a fast dump, or iterate TextLines when layout matters.

The handwriting read how-to produces this result, and the handwriting read example shows a short run.
