Handling Slashed Zeros in IronOCR
Slashed zeros are not recognized correctly, identified as g, 6 or 8?
This can be an issue with the Tesseract language packs.
The following language pack may help to address this issue with slashed zeros:
SlashedZeroOCR
This can then be used with the IronOCR feature to load custom language packs:
Custom Language Example in IronOCR
// Import the IronOcr namespace
using IronOcr;
class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // Initialize IronTesseract class
        var Ocr = new IronTesseract();
        // Use a custom Tesseract language file, which may help with recognizing slashed zeros
        Ocr.UseCustomTesseractLanguageFile("custom_tesseract_files/custom.traineddata");
        // Specify the OCR input image
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\image.png"))
        {
            // Perform OCR on the input image
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);
            // Output the recognized text to the console
            Console.WriteLine(Result.Text);
        }
    }
}// Import the IronOcr namespace
using IronOcr;
class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // Initialize IronTesseract class
        var Ocr = new IronTesseract();
        // Use a custom Tesseract language file, which may help with recognizing slashed zeros
        Ocr.UseCustomTesseractLanguageFile("custom_tesseract_files/custom.traineddata");
        // Specify the OCR input image
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\image.png"))
        {
            // Perform OCR on the input image
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);
            // Output the recognized text to the console
            Console.WriteLine(Result.Text);
        }
    }
