MICR Language Pack [Magnetic Ink Character Recognition]
Installation
The first thing we have to do is install our MICR OCR package to your .NET project.
Code Example
This C# code example reads MICR text from an image or PDF document.
// Import the IronOCR namespace
using IronOcr;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
// Create a new instance of IronTesseract for performing OCR operations
var Ocr = new IronTesseract();
// Set the OCR language to MICR to recognize magnetic ink characters
Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.MICR;
// Specify the file path of the input image containing MICR text
using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\MICR.png"))
{
// Run the OCR engine to read the MICR text from the input image
var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);
// Retrieve the entire recognized text from the result
var AllText = Result.Text;
// Output the recognized text to the console
Console.WriteLine(AllText);
}
}
