Catalan Language Pack [català]

Installation

The first thing we have to do is install our Catalan OCR package to your .NET project.

PM > Install-Package IronOcr.Languages.Catalan

Code Example

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

// Import the IronOcr namespace to use its OCR functionality
using IronOcr;

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

        // Set the language for OCR processing to Catalan
        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Catalan;

        // Define the input image or PDF from which you want to read the text
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Catalan.png"))
        {
            // Perform OCR reading on the input
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);

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

            // Output the recognized text
            Console.WriteLine(AllText);
        }
    }
}

In this code:

  • We create an instance of IronTesseract to handle OCR operations.
  • The Ocr.Language is specified as Catalan, indicating that the OCR engine should process images using the Catalan language model.
  • We use OcrInput to specify the file path of the image or PDF document.
  • The Read method is called on the Ocr object, and the OCR reading results are stored in the variable Result.
  • Finally, Result.Text contains the recognized text, which is printed to the console.
