Read Handwriting Image

Handwritten documents are unique and often challenging to digitize due to the variability in individual styles. With IronOCR, you can effectively process handwritten text to automate data entry and digital archiving.

The following code example demonstrates how to scan a handwritten image in just a few simple steps.

5 Simple Steps to Reading Handwriting Images

var ocr = new IronTesseract();
var inputHandWriting = new OcrInput();
inputHandWriting.LoadImage("handwritten.png");
OcrHandwritingResult result = ocr.ReadHandwriting(inputHandWriting/);
Console.WriteLine(result.Text);

Code Explanation

To begin reading handwritten text, we first instantiate the IronTesseract engine and create a new OcrInput object to handle our input image.

Afterward, we use the LoadImage method to import "handwritten.png" into the input object. We then call the specialized ReadHandwriting method to read the input handwritten image. ReadHandwriting is a specialized method for extracting handwriting from images. We finally read the OCR results by printing them to the console.
