Kannada Language Pack [ಕನನಡ]

Installation

The first thing we have to do is install the Kannada OCR package to your .NET project.

PM > Install-Package IronOcr.Languages.Kannada

Code Example

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

// Make sure to install the IronOcr.Languages.Kannada package via NuGet
using IronOcr;

var Ocr = new IronTesseract
{
    // Set the OCR language to Kannada
    Language = OcrLanguage.Kannada
};

using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Kannada.png"))
{
    // Perform OCR on the input image
    var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);
    // Retrieve all recognized text from the OCR result
    var AllText = Result.Text;
}
  • IronTesseract is an instance of the OCR engine.
  • OcrLanguage.Kannada specifies that the OCR should specifically target the Kannada language.
  • OcrInput loads the image from the specified path for OCR processing.
  • The Read method processes the input and returns the recognized text.
  • Finally, the recognized text is stored in AllText.
