Icelandic Language Pack [Íslenska]
Installation
The first thing we have to do is install our Icelandic OCR package to your .NET project.
Code Example
This C# code example reads Icelandic text from an image or PDF document.
using IronOcr;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
// Create an instance of the IronTesseract OCR engine
var Ocr = new IronTesseract();
// Set the language to Icelandic
Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Icelandic;
// Load the image or PDF file to be processed
using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Icelandic.png"))
{
// Perform OCR on the input file
var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);
// Extract all recognized text from the result
var AllText = Result.Text;
// Print the extracted text to the console
System.Console.WriteLine(AllText);
}
}
}Imports IronOcr

' Perform OCR on the input file

End ClassExplanation
- The
IronTesseractclass is part of the IronOCR library, designed for performing OCR operations. Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Icelandic;sets the OCR language to Icelandic.OcrInputtakes the path to the input file (an image or a PDF) and prepares it for processing.Ocr.Read(Input)processes the input file and returns the OCR result.Result.Textretrieves all recognized text from the processed input.
Ensure you have the IronOCR library and its Icelandic language package installed in your .NET project to run this example successfully.
