125 International OCR Languages

IronOCR Language Support

IronOCR supports 125 international languages. Other than English, which is installed by default, additional language packs can be added to your .NET project via NuGet or downloaded from our Languages Page.

Most languages are available in Fast, Standard (recommended), and Best quality. The Best quality option may offer more accurate results, but will also be slower in processing time.

Explore OCR in Multiple Languages with IronOCR.
