' This example demonstrates the use of OCR Analyser - a tooling class for analysis of scanned documents
' in PDF or raster image formats to find best parameters for Optical Character Recognition (OCR) that
' provide highest recognition quality.


' Input document
inputDocument = "..\..\sample_ocr.pdf"

' Document page index
pageIndex = 0

' Location of "tessdata" folder containing language data files
ocrLanguageDataFolder = "c:\Program Files\Bytescout PDF Extractor SDK\Redistributable\net2.00\tessdata\"

' OCR language
ocrLanguage = "eng" ' "eng" for english, "deu" for German, "fra" for French, "spa" for Spanish etc - according to files in /tessdata
' Find more language files at https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata/tree/3.04.00
