Tesseract Rectangle 2022.8.7804
esseract Rectangle adds OCR to projects within the VB and .NET C# environment that fully supports .NET 5, Core, Standard, Framework, and Azure. This enables your next project build to integrate image and text reading using QR and barcode technology. This is a popular trend across many industries, from digital menus at bistros to archiving entire libraries in educational institutions. This is an excellent way to add versatility to your next mobile application or web-based browser.
The new addition from IronSoftware outputs data in searchable content. This could be plain text, structured data, or into PDFs and XHTML systems. That means someone working in a law firm could digitize all the previous cases from the last fifty years to create new resources for paralegals and researchers to rely upon. The same is true for inventory management. This simplified project works perfectly for adding context to different items on shelves for customer interaction or tracking information for stakeholders who want to identify the supply chain's strengths and weaknesses.
The Tesseract Rectangle OCR uses advanced imaging systems to remove distortion, noise, and generally clean up what is being scanned from images, text, barcodes, and QR codes. This saves your end-users valuable time and requires little effort on your part to integrate. You can view some of the documentation about adding the Tesseract Rectangle to your VB project at https://ironsoftware.com/csharp/ocr/examples/net-tesseract-content-area-rectangle-crop/.
The best part is Tesseract Rectangle is not like unlicensed open-sourced software that is often packed full of bugs or off-the-shelf products that are often overpriced and full of add-ons you do not need. You do not have to sign up for a subscription plan like Microsoft OCR Azure. One payment to IronSoftware, and you are good to go for deployment.
