Code Example

This C# code example reads Han Simplified Alphabet text from an image or PDF document.

// Reference the IronOcr library
using IronOcr;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Create an IronTesseract OCR engine
        var Ocr = new IronTesseract();

        // Load the Han language for OCR processing
        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Han;

        // Using a 'using' statement for resource management
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Han.png"))
        {
            // Process the image to extract text
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);
            
            // Retrieve and display the extracted text
            string AllText = Result.Text;
            System.Console.WriteLine(AllText);
        }
    }
}

// Reference the IronOcr library
using IronOcr;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Create an IronTesseract OCR engine
        var Ocr = new IronTesseract();

        // Load the Han language for OCR processing
        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Han;

        // Using a 'using' statement for resource management
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Han.png"))
        {
            // Process the image to extract text
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);
            
            // Retrieve and display the extracted text
            string AllText = Result.Text;
            System.Console.WriteLine(AllText);
        }
    }
}

' Reference the IronOcr library
Imports IronOcr

Module Program
    Sub Main()
        ' Create an IronTesseract OCR engine
        Dim Ocr As New IronTesseract()

        ' Load the Han language for OCR processing
        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Han

        ' Using a 'Using' statement for resource management
        Using Input As New OcrInput("images\Han.png")
            ' Process the image to extract text
            Dim Result = Ocr.Read(Input)
            
            ' Retrieve and display the extracted text
            Dim AllText As String = Result.Text
            System.Console.WriteLine(AllText)
        End Using
    End Sub
End Module

' Reference the IronOcr library
Imports IronOcr

Module Program
    Sub Main()
        ' Create an IronTesseract OCR engine
        Dim Ocr As New IronTesseract()

        ' Load the Han language for OCR processing
        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Han

        ' Using a 'Using' statement for resource management
        Using Input As New OcrInput("images\Han.png")
            ' Process the image to extract text

            ' Retrieve and display the extracted text
            Dim AllText As String = Result.Text
            System.Console.WriteLine(AllText)
        End Using
    End Sub
End Module

Explanation

• We start by referencing the IronOCR library to use its OCR capabilities.
• An instance of IronTesseract is created to process the image/PDF documents.
• The language for the OCR process is set to Han using Ocr.Language.
• An image is loaded using OcrInput and processed by calling Ocr.Read().
• The result of the OCR process is stored in Result.Text, which contains the extracted text from the document.
• We finally print the text to the console.

Ensure to have the proper using directives and manage resources efficiently with using statements, especially when dealing with unmanaged resources like file streams.
