Code Example

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

using IronOcr;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Create an instance of the IronTesseract OCR engine
        var Ocr = new IronTesseract();

        // Set the language to Icelandic
        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Icelandic;

        // Load the image or PDF file to be processed
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\Icelandic.png"))
        {
            // Perform OCR on the input file
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);

            // Extract all recognized text from the result
            var AllText = Result.Text;

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

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {

Explanation

  • The IronTesseract class is part of the IronOcr library, designed for performing OCR operations.
  • Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Icelandic; sets the OCR language to Icelandic.
  • OcrInput takes the path to the input file (an image or a PDF) and prepares it for processing.
  • Ocr.Read(Input) processes the input file and returns the OCR result.
  • Result.Text retrieves all recognized text from the processed input.

Ensure you have the IronOCR library and its Icelandic language package installed in your .NET project to run this example successfully.
