using IronOcr;

public class EthiopicOcrExample
{
    public void ReadEthiopicText()
    {
        // Create an instance of IronTesseract
        var Ocr = new IronTesseract();
        
        // Set the language property to Ethiopic
        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Ethiopic;
        
        // Define the input image containing Ethiopic text
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Ethiopic.png"))
        {
            // Perform OCR to read text from the image
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);
            
            // Store the recognized text
            var AllText = Result.Text;
            
            // Output the recognized text
            Console.WriteLine(AllText);
        }
    }
}

// First, ensure the IronOcr.Languages.Ethiopic package is installed
using IronOcr;

public class EthiopicOcrExample
{
    public void ReadEthiopicText()
    {
        // Create an instance of IronTesseract
        var Ocr = new IronTesseract();
        
        // Set the language property to Ethiopic
        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Ethiopic;
        
        // Define the input image containing Ethiopic text
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Ethiopic.png"))
        {
            // Perform OCR to read text from the image
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);
            
            // Store the recognized text

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

        ' Set the language property to Ethiopic
        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Ethiopic

        ' Define the input image containing Ethiopic text
        Using Input = New OcrInput("images\Ethiopic.png")
            ' Perform OCR to read text from the image
            Dim Result = Ocr.Read(Input)

            ' Store the recognized text
            Dim AllText = Result.Text

            ' Output the recognized text
            Console.WriteLine(AllText)
        End Using
    End Sub
End Class

This example creates an instance of IronTesseract for performing OCR operations.
It sets the language to Ethiopic using OcrLanguage.Ethiopic.
The OcrInput is used to define the source image.
The Read method performs the OCR and returns a result containing the recognized text.
The recognized text is stored in AllText and printed to the console.
