Code Example

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

// Import the IronOcr namespace
using IronOcr;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Create a new instance of IronTesseract
        var Ocr = new IronTesseract();
        
        // Specify the language to use for OCR 
        // In this case, we're using Faroese
        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Faroese;

        // Use a using statement for automatic resource management
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Faroese.png"))
        {
            // Perform OCR on the input image
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);
            
            // Extract the recognized text
            var AllText = Result.Text;

            // Print the extracted text to console
            Console.WriteLine(AllText);
        }
    }
}

// Import the IronOcr namespace
using IronOcr;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Create a new instance of IronTesseract
        var Ocr = new IronTesseract();
        
        // Specify the language to use for OCR 
        // In this case, we're using Faroese
        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Faroese;

        // Use a using statement for automatic resource management
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Faroese.png"))
        {
            // Perform OCR on the input image
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);
            
            // Extract the recognized text
            var AllText = Result.Text;

            // Print the extracted text to console
            Console.WriteLine(AllText);
        }
    }
