Explanation

IronTesseract is an instance that allows you to perform OCR.
Ocr.Language is set to Maori to specify the language of the text we are reading.
OcrInput is used to capture the input from an image with a specified file path.
Ocr.Read() performs the OCR and retrieves the result.
Result.Text contains the extracted text from the image, which can be stored or processed as needed.

This code setup ensures that the correct OCR language pack is utilized to achieve accurate text recognition.
