125 International OCR Languages

IronOCR supports 125 international languages.

Other than English which is installed by default, language packs may be added to your .NET project via Nuget or as downloads from our Languages Page.

Most Languages are available in Fast, Standard (recommended) and Best quality. Best may be more accurate, but also is slower.

C#:

//PM> Install-Package IronOcr.Languages.Arabic

using IronOcr;

var Ocr = new IronTesseract();
Ocr.Language = OcrLanguage.Arabic;

using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\arabic.gif"))
{
    var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);
    Console.WriteLine(Result.Text);
}


///A more advanced Example

var Ocr2 = new IronTesseract();
Ocr2.UseCustomTesseractLanguageFile("custom_tesseract_files/custom.traineddata");
Ocr2.AddSecondaryLanguage(OcrLanguage.EnglishBest);

using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\mixed-lang.pdf"))
{
    var Result = Ocr2.Read(Input);
    Console.WriteLine(Result.Text);
}
