Yoruba Language Pack [Yorùbá]

Installation

The first task is to install the Yoruba OCR package to your .NET project.

PM > Install-Package IronOcr.Languages.Yoruba

Code Example

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

// Remember to install the package first:
// PM> Install-Package IronOcr.Languages.Yoruba

using IronOcr;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Create a new instance of the IronTesseract OCR engine
        var Ocr = new IronTesseract();
        
        // Set the OCR language to Yoruba
        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Yoruba;

        // Specify the image or PDF file to read
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Yoruba.png"))
        {
            // Perform OCR on the input file
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);
            
            // Extract all recognized text
            var AllText = Result.Text;
            
            // Output the recognized text
            Console.WriteLine("Recognized Text: ");
            Console.WriteLine(AllText);
        }
    }
}

Comments within the code explain each step, from setting the language to extracting and printing the recognized text. This example focuses on reading Yoruba text using IronOCR by specifying the Yoruba language and processing an image or PDF file.
