Norwegian Language Pack [Norsk]

Installation

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

PM > Install-Package IronOcr.Languages.Norwegian

Code Example

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

// Make sure to install the Norwegian language package:
// PM> Install-Package IronOcr.Languages.Norwegian
using IronOcr;

var Ocr = new IronTesseract();

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

// Define the input source as an image file
using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Norwegian.png"))
{
    // Perform OCR to read the text from the image
    var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);
    
    // Store the extracted text in a variable
    var AllText = Result.Text;
    
    // Output the extracted text to the console
    Console.WriteLine(AllText);
}
C#
  • This code initializes the OCR engine, sets the language to Norwegian, reads the text from an image, and then outputs the recognized text.
  • Ensure that the IronOCR package and the Norwegian language pack are installed in your .NET project to run this example successfully.
