// Include IronOcr library
using IronOcr;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Create a new instance of the IronTesseract class
        var Ocr = new IronTesseract();

        // Set the OCR language to Italian
        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Italian;

        // Read text from an image file
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Italian.png"))
        {
            // Perform OCR to get the text content from the image
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);

            // Get and print all the recognized text
            var AllText = Result.Text;
            Console.WriteLine(AllText);
        }
    }
}

// Include IronOcr library
using IronOcr;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Create a new instance of the IronTesseract class
        var Ocr = new IronTesseract();

        // Set the OCR language to Italian
        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Italian;

        // Read text from an image file
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Italian.png"))
        {
            // Perform OCR to get the text content from the image
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);

            // Get and print all the recognized text
            var AllText = Result.Text;
            Console.WriteLine(AllText);
        }
    }
}

Explanation:

Using IronOCR: The IronOcr library is included to utilize its OCR capabilities.
Creating an IronTesseract Instance: IronTesseract is a core class used for OCR processing.
Setting Language: OCR is set to process the Italian language using Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Italian.
Reading Input: An OcrInput object is created to specify the image file.
Performing OCR: Ocr.Read(Input) executes the OCR process on the input image and returns the text result.
Output: The resulting text is stored in AllText and displayed in the console.

Make sure the images\Italian.png file path is correct, and the file exists for the example to work properly.
