Code Example

This C# code example reads Sanskrit text from an Image or PDF document.

// Import the IronOcr namespace
using IronOcr;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Create an instance of IronTesseract for OCR operations
        var Ocr = new IronTesseract
        {
            // Set the OCR language to Sanskrit
            Language = OcrLanguage.Sanskrit
        };

        // Define the input image or PDF file containing Sanskrit text
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Sanskrit.png"))
        {
            // Perform OCR to read the text from the Input
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);
            
            // Capture the extracted text
            var AllText = Result.Text;

            // Print the extracted text to the console
            System.Console.WriteLine(AllText);
        }
    }
}

// Import the IronOcr namespace
using IronOcr;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Create an instance of IronTesseract for OCR operations
        var Ocr = new IronTesseract
        {
            // Set the OCR language to Sanskrit
            Language = OcrLanguage.Sanskrit
        };

        // Define the input image or PDF file containing Sanskrit text
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Sanskrit.png"))
        {
            // Perform OCR to read the text from the Input
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);
            
            // Capture the extracted text
            var AllText = Result.Text;

            // Print the extracted text to the console
            System.Console.WriteLine(AllText);
        }
    }
}

' Import the IronOcr namespace
Imports IronOcr

Class Program
    Shared Sub Main()
        ' Create an instance of IronTesseract for OCR operations
        Dim Ocr As New IronTesseract With {
            ' Set the OCR language to Sanskrit
            .Language = OcrLanguage.Sanskrit
        }

        ' Define the input image or PDF file containing Sanskrit text
        Using Input As New OcrInput("images\Sanskrit.png")
            ' Perform OCR to read the text from the Input
            Dim Result = Ocr.Read(Input)
            
            ' Capture the extracted text
            Dim AllText = Result.Text

            ' Print the extracted text to the console
            System.Console.WriteLine(AllText)
        End Using
    End Sub
End Class

' Import the IronOcr namespace
Imports IronOcr

Class Program
    Shared Sub Main()
        ' Create an instance of IronTesseract for OCR operations
        Dim Ocr As New IronTesseract With {
            ' Set the OCR language to Sanskrit
            .Language = OcrLanguage.Sanskrit
        }

        ' Define the input image or PDF file containing Sanskrit text
        Using Input As New OcrInput("images\Sanskrit.png")
            ' Perform OCR to read the text from the Input
            Dim Result = Ocr.Read(Input)
            
            ' Capture the extracted text
            Dim AllText = Result.Text

            ' Print the extracted text to the console
            System.Console.WriteLine(AllText)
        End Using
    End Sub
End Class

This example demonstrates how to configure IronTesseract to perform OCR on a Sanskrit image or PDF.
The Ocr.Read() method processes the input and extracts the text content, which is accessible via the Result.Text property.
