ImageGear Professional DLL for Windows
Optical Character Recognition

The ImageGear Recognition component provides access to document recognition technology.

This core software module provides recognition for almost any document, including those produced on typewriters, dot-matrix printers, ink-jet printers, laser printers, and phototypesetters, as well as photocopied and faxed versions of any document.

Using the ImageGear Recognition component, you can recognize a document image and export the text in one of the supported output formats. These formats include 8-bit ASII and 16-bit Unicode text, Microsoft Word, HTML, and others.

The ImageGear Recognition Component also allows a user to:

The very first working code

The code example below demonstrates loading and recognizing the TEST1.TIF image file. The image contains English, machine-printed text. The result will be saved in the TEST1.TXT text file.

Copy Code
#include <windows.h>    // Windows includes
#include "gear.h"       // Include for Accusoft ImageGear
#include "i_rec.h"      // Include for ImageGear Recognition component
//Loading and recognizing the Image.tif image file. The result will be saved in the Image.txt text file.
