Figure 1 - Runtime Example. The OCR.Net  Component allows you to enter a File-Name or a Bitmap. It also includes PictureBox functionality that allows you to lasso an area of a bitmap to process. The example .Net project shown above is provided as part of the OCR Tools Demo software and is available for you to Download Now.  Sample source code is provided in both VB.Net and C#.Net. And we provide both a 2003 and a 2005 component to include into your applications.

Figure 2 - Source Code Example. The OCR.Net Component is easy to integrate into your new or existing applications. All that is required is to drag the OCR Component from your Toolbox onto your Form, enter your Bitmap and Process. The results are returned in a string of Text. Its as easy as that, in a matter of a few minutes your application is OCR aware and fully-capable of providing all your OCR solutions without the hassle of runtime licenses or royalty fees!

Figure 3 - Source Code Example with a FileName.  The OCR.Net Component also accepts a File Name as input. Instead of providing a bitmap, you can provide a file to process, such as TIF, JPG, GIF, BMP, etc...

Figure 4 - Source Code Example using PictureBox.  The OCR .Net Component extends the functionality of the standard .Net PictureBox. You can lasso an area of the PictureBox with your mouse and input the selected bitmap with our PictureBox.Copy() function.

Figure 5 - Property Box.  The OCR.Net Component's Property Box provides the basic properties you need to customize your OCR process. You can select any combination of Upper, Lower, Numeric, or Special Characters to process. Properties can be set in the Property Box at design time, or programmatically at runtime.
