Overview
By using XImage.OCR for .NET, C# programmers are entitled to implement mature and fast OCR recognition for Tiff, scanned PDF and multiple other image file formats like Jpeg, Bmp, Png, Gif, etc. This online guide will focus on implementing OCR technology on Tiff image file. To be more specific, C# programmers are able to do the following aspects. Respective demo codes are provided in the coming parts.
- Extract text from whole Tiff file
- Extract text from specified Tiff page
- Extract text from specified zone in Tiff page
- Scan image and output OCR result to PDF document
- Scan image and output OCR result to Word document
Before moving onto using C# demo codes below, please firstly install XImage.OCR for .NET into your C# project. What should be noticed here is that respective DLL libraries should also be integrated as project references if you need to OCR specific files. For Tiff image, RasterEdge.XDoc.Tiff.dll should be used as well.
