Installation
The first thing we have to do is install our German OCR package to your .NET project.
Code Example
This C# code example reads German text from an image or PDF document.
using IronOcr;
var Ocr = new IronTesseract();
// Set the OCR language to German. This must match the language of the document you are scanning.
Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.German;
using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\German.png"))
{
// Perform OCR on the provided image and get the result.
var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);
// Extract all recognized text from the OCR result.
var AllText = Result.Text;
// Optionally, output the recognized text to the console for verification.
Console.WriteLine(AllText);
}Imports IronOcr
Private Ocr = New IronTesseract()
' Set the OCR language to German. This must match the language of the document you are scanning.
Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.German
Using Input = New OcrInput("images\German.png")
' Perform OCR on the provided image and get the result.
Dim Result = Ocr.Read(Input)
' Extract all recognized text from the OCR result.
Dim AllText = Result.Text
' Optionally, output the recognized text to the console for verification.
Console.WriteLine(AllText)
End UsingImports IronOcr
Private Ocr = New IronTesseract()
' Set the OCR language to German. This must match the language of the document you are scanning.
Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.German
Using Input = New OcrInput("images\German.png")
' Perform OCR on the provided image and get the result.
Dim Result = Ocr.Read(Input)
' Extract all recognized text from the OCR result.
Dim AllText = Result.Text
' Optionally, output the recognized text to the console for verification.
Console.WriteLine(AllText)
End UsingIn this example, IronTesseract is configured to use the German language for OCR, which is necessary for processing images or PDFs containing German text. The OcrInput class is used to specify the image file, and the Read method performs the OCR operation, returning the extracted text.
