Dutch Language Pack [Nederlands]
Installation
The first thing we need to do is install the Dutch OCR package to your .NET project.
Code Example
This C# code example reads Dutch text from an image or PDF document.
// The first step is to ensure the IronOcr.Languages.Dutch package is installed.
// You can do this from the Package Manager Console with the command:
// PM> Install-Package IronOcr.Languages.Dutch
using IronOcr;
var Ocr = new IronTesseract();
// Set the OCR language to Dutch.
// This is crucial for recognizing text in that language effectively.
Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Dutch;
// Use a using statement to manage the OcrInput resource lifecycle.
using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Dutch.png"))
{
// Read the image and perform OCR to extract text.
var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);
// Store the recognized text into a variable.
var AllText = Result.Text;
// You can now use the extracted text stored in AllText.

Imports IronOcr
Private Ocr = New IronTesseract()
' Set the OCR language to Dutch.
' This is crucial for recognizing text in that language effectively.
Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Dutch
' Use a using statement to manage the OcrInput resource lifecycle.
Using Input = New OcrInput("images\Dutch.png")
' Read the image and perform OCR to extract text.
Dim Result = Ocr.Read(Input)
' Store the recognized text into a variable.
Dim AllText = Result.Text
' You can now use the extracted text stored in AllText.
End UsingThis code sets up an OCR process in C# for reading Dutch text. It initializes the IronTesseract object, specifies the OCR language, and processes the input image file. The result is the extracted text from the file, which can be utilized as needed in your application.
