Ok so I have spent the best part of today trying to even get ocr to work properly and it is no longer crashing but when I give it a file containing text rather that just numbers a lot of weird text is pumped out...
Source code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using tessnet2;
namespace OCRTest
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
var image = new Bitmap(@"C:\Users\Ryan\Documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\OCRTest\testimage.jpg");
var ocr = new Tesseract();
ocr.Init(@"C:\Users\Ryan\Documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\OCRTest\tessdata", "eng", true);
var result = ocr.DoOCR(image, Rectangle.Empty);
foreach (Word word in result)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0} : {1}", word.Confidence, word.Text);
}
}
catch (Exception exception)
{
Console.WriteLine(exception);
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}
Like I said I am using tessnet2 along with the eng tessdata.
When I input this image:
I get this response from the program:
Thanks in advance for any help or links to further tutorials you may have - I followed this tutorial to get thus far.. Ryan
