Tesseract-Wrapper

This project provides an interface for .net core to use the Tesseract c++ library. The wrapper was created with the amie of simplicity and ease of use use but I only needed some functionality, thus not all functions are wrapped.

Usage

Create an instance of the ImageReader class. The datapath must be the name of the tessdata directory, the tessdata can be downloaded from here or here. The language is (usually) an ISO 639-3 string, eg "eng".

using var reader = new ImageReader(@"path\to\tessdata", "language");

Afterwards just set the path to the image and call the GetText to read all text in the image.

using (var image = new Bitmap(@"path\to\image"))
    reader.SetImage(image);
    
var text = reader.GetText();
