Norwegian Language Pack [Norsk]
Installation
The first thing we have to do is install our Norwegian OCR package to your .NET project.
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);
}
- 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.
