Iron OCR is a powerful OCR .NET library that enables users to extract text from images and PDFs using C#, F#, or VB.NET. It is a technology that converts scanned and printed documents into editable text, greatly improving productivity.

Developers love the convenience and ease of setup when it comes to using Iron OCR in .NET projects. OCR requires extensive preprocessing of images to achieve near-perfect accuracy, which can be a tedious process. Iron OCR can automatically detect the properties of an image, a screenshot, photographs, scans, or PDF document and automatically adjust accordingly, preprocessing the images so the OCR can reach over 95% accuracy without adjusting any settings or doing any Photoshop work.
Iron OCR also offers language packs that support multiple languages, including Arabic, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Danish, English, Finnish, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish. Developers can easily find language packs and integrate it with their projects.
Iron OCR can be integrated with many other Iron products, including Iron Barcode and Iron PDF. Iron OCR extracts text from documents, while Iron Barcode detects barcodes with high accuracy within the same scan. Iron PDF helps to repurpose content from scanned documents into new PDF documents.
