PDF OCR for CSharp

Iron OCR on .NET Core allows users to create various types of projects for console, web, and desktop applications using .NET 5, Core Framework, and more. It is compatible with different operating systems, such as Windows, Linux, Mac, Azure, and AWS. Iron OCR can read almost any modern image format, including JPGs, bitmaps, PNGs, as well as .NET system.drawing.image and system.drawing.bitmap objects, providing Tesseract OCR for Mac, Windows, and Linux.

Iron OCR is great for reading scanned documents that were originally printed, making it ideal for indexing old paper content and working towards a paperless office environment. However, it may not work well with small snippets of unclear text and reading handwriting to text in C#. IronOCR is an OCR library that provides advanced OCR for C# and .NET, supporting different frameworks such as .Net Framework 2.0+, .Net Standard 2.0+, .Net Core 2.0+, .Net 5, Mono for MacOS or Linux, and Xamarin MacOS.

For those who need to convert scanned PDFs into text searchable PDFs, Iron OCR offers a solution. This technology allows scanning of files that can be used later, but since the image is scanned, it becomes a picture format that cannot be copied. With OCR, images can be converted into text to create editable and searchable data. This C# template enables users to quickly begin with a one-page playground. Add-on tools are available to convert scanned PDFs into OCR or text searchable PDFs using C#.
