Imports IronOcr
Dim Ocr As New IronTesseract()
' Specify the language for OCR as Portuguese
Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Portuguese
' Load the image or PDF from which to read the text
Using Input As New OcrInput("images\Portuguese.png")
' Perform OCR on the input
Dim Result = Ocr.Read(Input)
' Retrieve the recognized text
Dim AllText = Result.Text
' Output the extracted text
Console.WriteLine(AllText)
End Using' Required import for IronOcr
Imports IronOcr
Dim Ocr As New IronTesseract()
' Specify the language for OCR as Portuguese
Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Portuguese
' Load the image or PDF from which to read the text
