Code Example

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

// Import the IronOcr library
using IronOcr;

class WesternFrisianOcrExample
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Create a new instance of IronTesseract, which is the OCR engine 
        var Ocr = new IronTesseract();

        // Set the language to Western Frisian
        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.WesternFrisian;

        // Perform OCR on a given image
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\WesternFrisian.png"))
        {
            // Read the input image and store the result
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);

            // Extract the text from the result
            string AllText = Result.Text;

            // Output the recognized text to the console
            System.Console.WriteLine(AllText);
        }
    }
}

// Import the IronOcr library
using IronOcr;

class WesternFrisianOcrExample
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Create a new instance of IronTesseract, which is the OCR engine 
        var Ocr = new IronTesseract();

        // Set the language to Western Frisian
        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.WesternFrisian;

        // Perform OCR on a given image
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\WesternFrisian.png"))
        {
            // Read the input image and store the result
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);

            // Extract the text from the result
            string AllText = Result.Text;

            // Output the recognized text to the console
            System.Console.WriteLine(AllText);
        }
    }
}

' Import the IronOcr library
Imports IronOcr

Friend Class WesternFrisianOcrExample
	Shared Sub Main()
		' Create a new instance of IronTesseract, which is the OCR engine 
		Dim Ocr = New IronTesseract()

		' Set the language to Western Frisian
		Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.WesternFrisian

		' Perform OCR on a given image
		Using Input = New OcrInput("images\WesternFrisian.png")
			' Read the input image and store the result
			Dim Result = Ocr.Read(Input)

			' Extract the text from the result
			Dim AllText As String = Result.Text

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

' Import the IronOcr library
Imports IronOcr

Friend Class WesternFrisianOcrExample
	Shared Sub Main()
		' Create a new instance of IronTesseract, which is the OCR engine 
		Dim Ocr = New IronTesseract()

		' Set the language to Western Frisian
		Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.WesternFrisian

		' Perform OCR on a given image
		Using Input = New OcrInput("images\WesternFrisian.png")
			' Read the input image and store the result
			Dim Result = Ocr.Read(Input)

			' Extract the text from the result
			Dim AllText As String = Result.Text

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

In this example, we:

Initialize the OCR engine IronTesseract.
Set the OCR process to recognize Western Frisian text using the OcrLanguage.WesternFrisian language option.
Read an image file located at the path images\WesternFrisian.png.
Store the recognized text in AllText and print it to the console.
