Basic OCR SDK Concept
Introduce C# Developers Three Basic Concepts of RasterEdge OCR SDK for .NET
To help C# developers have better understanding of of our XImage.OCR for .NET, we provide more details for basic OCR SDK concepts on this page.
In all, three C# OCR classes will be talked, including OCRHandle, OCRRecSetting, and OCRPage.
For each class, we explain all designed public methods and properties.

C# OCRHandle Class
This C# class is the utility class.
Public Methods
Import (override +5)

Create an OCRDocument/OCRPage instance in C# programming by inputting image.
|
Reset
|
Reset recognizing setting and output setting to default values.
|
SetTrainResourcePath

Change the path of those training resource files. The resource path should be the path of folder that include those trained data files (with file extension ".traineddata").
Default: all trained data files should be put in a folder called "Source", and this "Source" folder MUST BE put in the same dictionary as the assemblies.
|
Translate (override +3)
|
Recognize all characters in images, and save the results into PDF/SVG/TXT file/stream.
|
Public Property
Settings
|
Set /get the settings applying in C# OCR recognition process.

C# OCRRecSetting Class
C# users can set OCR recognition setting of OCR entities in any level, namely OCRHandler,
OCRDocument, OCRPage and OCRZone. The setting in the lower level entity overrides that in the higher one.
Below is a table to describe all the methods in OCRRecSetting class.
Public Methods

Tradeoff
|
The value could be Default/Fast/Accurate.
Fast: spend the least time to scan source image.
Accurate: get the most accurate OCR result.
Default: balance between time consuming and accuracy.
|
