Installation

The first thing we have to do is install our Latin OCR package to your .NET project.

Install-Package IronOcr.Languages.Latin

Code Example

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

// Install the IronOcr.Languages.Latin package via NuGet
using IronOcr;

var Ocr = new IronTesseract();
Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Latin;

// Create an OCR input object by specifying the image or PDF file path
using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Latin.png"))
{
    // Perform OCR on the input
    var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);
    // Retrieve the recognized text
    var AllText = Result.Text;
    // Log or process the recognized text
}

// Install the IronOcr.Languages.Latin package via NuGet
using IronOcr;

var Ocr = new IronTesseract();
Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Latin;

// Create an OCR input object by specifying the image or PDF file path
using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Latin.png"))
{
    // Perform OCR on the input
    var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);
    // Retrieve the recognized text
    var AllText = Result.Text;
    // Log or process the recognized text
}

' Install the IronOcr.Languages.Latin package via NuGet
Imports IronOcr

Private Ocr = New IronTesseract()
Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Latin

' Create an OCR input object by specifying the image or PDF file path
Using Input = New OcrInput("images\Latin.png")
	' Perform OCR on the input
	Dim Result = Ocr.Read(Input)
	' Retrieve the recognized text
	Dim AllText = Result.Text
	' Log or process the recognized text
End Using

' Install the IronOcr.Languages.Latin package via NuGet
Imports IronOcr

Private Ocr = New IronTesseract()
Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Latin

' Create an OCR input object by specifying the image or PDF file path
Using Input = New OcrInput("images\Latin.png")
	' Perform OCR on the input
	Dim Result = Ocr.Read(Input)
	' Retrieve the recognized text
	Dim AllText = Result.Text
	' Log or process the recognized text
End Using

• This example demonstrates initializing the IronTesseract object and setting the OCR language to Latin.
• The OcrInput encapsulates the input file, in this case, an image containing Latin text.
• The Ocr.Read method processes the input and returns an OcrResult object from which you can extract the recognized text.
