Code Example

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

// Import the IronOCR namespace
using IronOcr;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Create a new instance of IronTesseract for performing OCR operations
        var Ocr = new IronTesseract();

        // Set the OCR language to MICR to recognize magnetic ink characters
        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.MICR;

        // Specify the file path of the input image containing MICR text
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\MICR.png"))
        {
            // Run the OCR engine to read the MICR text from the input image
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);

            // Retrieve the entire recognized text from the result
            var AllText = Result.Text;

            // Output the recognized text to the console
            Console.WriteLine(AllText);
        }
    }
}
// Import the IronOCR namespace
using IronOcr;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Create a new instance of IronTesseract for performing OCR operations
        var Ocr = new IronTesseract();

        // Set the OCR language to MICR to recognize magnetic ink characters
        Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.MICR;

        // Specify the file path of the input image containing MICR text
        using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\MICR.png"))
        {
            // Run the OCR engine to read the MICR text from the input image
            var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);

            // Retrieve the entire recognized text from the result
            var AllText = Result.Text;

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