OCR analyser in C# and ByteScout PDF Extractor SDK

How To: Tutorial on OCR Analyzer in C#

The coding tutorials are designed to help you test the features without the need to write your own code. ByteScout PDF Extractor SDK was made to help with the OCR analyzer in C#. ByteScout PDF Extractor SDK is the Software Development Kit (SDK) that is designed to help developers with data extraction from unstructured documents like PDF, TIFF, scans, images, scanned and electronic forms. The library is powered by OCR, computer vision and AI to provide unique functionality like table detection, automatic table structure extraction, data restoration, data restructuring, and reconstruction. Supports PDF, TIFF, PNG, JPG images as input and can output CSV, XML, JSON formatted data. Includes full set of utilities like PDF splitter, PDF merger, searchable PDF maker.

C#, code samples for C#, developers help to speed up the application development and writing a code when using ByteScout PDF Extractor SDK. In order to implement this functionality, you should copy and paste code below into your app using the code editor. Then compile and run your application. Enjoy writing a code with ready-to-use sample C# codes to add the OCR analyzer functions using ByteScout PDF Extractor SDK in C#.
