IronOCR software offers optical character recognition (OCR) functionality for Azure .Net applications. It guarantees data security by performing OCR within the ether application, without sending any data outside.

IronOCR is an ideal tool for adding native OCR functionality to any .Net framework or core or standard application. Its power enables developers to add OCR functionality to Azure without any monthly fees or the need to pay for a SAS service.
This software uses the most advanced build of Tesseract available, which has been finely tuned for .Net and ACR work. This makes it possible for users to achieve over 99.8% accuracy in a very fast API. Additionally, IronOCR offers advanced OCR features using the Tesseract, five, four or three engines, OCR of PDF documents, and multi-page tifs, multi-threaded OCR, and OCR in 176 International languages, allowing any PDF or image to become a searchable PDF. Furthermore, users can perform OCR within rectangular areas of images, and optimize images automatically for OCR through filters, including unrotated DSU, the removal of noise and color transformations.
IronOCR also uses the .test data file format, an industry standard, to allow Azure to perform OCR in custom OCR languages. Results are returned as a results object model, which can be inspected for the content, accuracy, and alternative choices for any word paragraph line or character of text, including finding barcodes within any OCR document.
In summary, IronOCR provides comprehensive Azure OCR functionality for .Net developers, without requiring a web service for OCR functionality, without requiring data to be sent across the internet, and with highly accurate results using the latest Tesseract five engine. Moreover, it comes with a custom build for C# of Tesseract five, which does not need to be installed on the host machine.
