Code Example

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

// Import the IronOcr library
using IronOcr;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Instantiate the IronTesseract object
        var Ocr = new IronTesseract();
        
        // Set the language to Syriac
        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Syriac;
        
        // Create an OCR input from an image file
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Syriac.png"))
        {
            // Read the image and extract the text
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);
            
            // Retrieve the full recognized text
            var AllText = Result.Text;
            
            // Output the text to the console
            Console.WriteLine(AllText);
        }
    }
}

// Import the IronOcr library
using IronOcr;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Instantiate the IronTesseract object
        var Ocr = new IronTesseract();
        
        // Set the language to Syriac
        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Syriac;
        
        // Create an OCR input from an image file
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Syriac.png"))
        {
            // Read the image and extract the text
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);
            
            // Retrieve the full recognized text
            var AllText = Result.Text;
            
            // Output the text to the console
            Console.WriteLine(AllText);
        }
    }
}

' Import the IronOcr library
Imports IronOcr

Module Program
    Sub Main()
        ' Instantiate the IronTesseract object
        Dim Ocr As New IronTesseract()
        
        ' Set the language to Syriac
        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Syriac
        
        ' Create an OCR input from an image file
        Using Input As New OcrInput("images\Syriac.png")
            ' Read the image and extract the text
            Dim Result = Ocr.Read(Input)
            
            ' Retrieve the full recognized text
            Dim AllText = Result.Text
            
            ' Output the text to the console
            Console.WriteLine(AllText)
        End Using
    End Sub
End Module

' Import the IronOcr library
Imports IronOcr

Module Program
    Sub Main()
        ' Instantiate the IronTesseract object
        Dim Ocr As New IronTesseract()
        
        ' Set the language to Syriac
        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Syriac
        
        ' Create an OCR input from an image file
        Using Input As New OcrInput("images\Syriac.png")
            ' Read the image and extract the text
            Dim Result = Ocr.Read(Input)
            
            ' Retrieve the full recognized text
            Dim AllText = Result.Text
            
            ' Output the text to the console
            Console.WriteLine(AllText)
        End Using
    End Sub
End Module

In this example:

We create an instance of IronTesseract to process OCR.
The Ocr.Language is set to Syriac to ensure accurate text recognition for this language.
We load an image containing Syriac text into OcrInput and process it using Ocr.Read.
The recognized text is then stored in Result.Text, which can be utilized further in your application.
