Tesseract 5 for .NET

using IronOcr;
using System;

var ocrTesseract = new IronTesseract();

// ocrTesseract.Configuration.TesseractVersion = TesseractVersion.Tesseract5;

using var ocrInput = new OcrInput();
ocrInput.LoadImage(@"images\image.png");
var ocrResult = ocrTesseract.Read(ocrInput);
Console.WriteLine(ocrResult.Text);

What our Customers say about IronPDF?

40%SAVING

Where in the past we might have to go out and use one plug-in or one package for OCR, and another one for PDF, having them all integrated into one low-cost package was really great for us.
