// Install the IronOCR.languages.LatinAlphabet package first
using IronOcr;

var Ocr = new IronTesseract(); // Initialize IronTesseract instance

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

// Define the input image or PDF you want to read
using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\LatinAlphabet.png"))
{
    // Perform OCR reading on the input
    var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);
    
    // Extract the recognized text
    var AllText = Result.Text;

    // Output the recognized text
    Console.WriteLine(AllText);
}

// Install the IronOCR.languages.LatinAlphabet package first
using IronOcr;

var Ocr = new IronTesseract(); // Initialize IronTesseract instance

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

// Define the input image or PDF you want to read
using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\LatinAlphabet.png"))
{
    // Perform OCR reading on the input
    var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);
    
    // Extract the recognized text
    var AllText = Result.Text;

    // Output the recognized text
    Console.WriteLine(AllText);
}

' Install the IronOCR.languages.LatinAlphabet package first
Imports IronOcr

Dim Ocr As New IronTesseract() ' Initialize IronTesseract instance

' Set the OCR language to LatinAlphabet
Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.LatinAlphabet

' Define the input image or PDF you want to read
Using Input As New OcrInput("images\LatinAlphabet.png")
    ' Perform OCR reading on the input
    Dim Result = Ocr.Read(Input)
    
    ' Extract the recognized text
    Dim AllText = Result.Text

    ' Output the recognized text
    Console.WriteLine(AllText)
End Using

' Install the IronOCR.languages.LatinAlphabet package first
Imports IronOcr

Dim Ocr As New IronTesseract() ' Initialize IronTesseract instance

' Set the OCR language to LatinAlphabet
Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.LatinAlphabet

' Define the input image or PDF you want to read
Using Input As New OcrInput("images\LatinAlphabet.png")
    ' Perform OCR reading on the input
    Dim Result = Ocr.Read(Input)
    
    ' Extract the recognized text
    Dim AllText = Result.Text

    ' Output the recognized text
    Console.WriteLine(AllText)
End Using

Explanation

1. IronTesseract Initialization: An instance of IronTesseract is initialized, which will handle the OCR processing.
2. Language Setting: The OCR language is set to LatinAlphabet, which is one of the available languages in the IronOCR package.
3. Input Specification: An OcrInput object is created, specifying the path to the image or PDF from which text will be extracted.
4. OCR Execution: The Read method of the IronTesseract instance is called to process the OcrInput. This returns a Result object containing the extracted text.
5. Text Extraction: The Text property of the Result object is used to access the recognized text.
6. Output: The recognized text is printed to the console for verification.

Ensure that the file path in OcrInput correctly points to your image or PDF file to avoid file not found exceptions.
