What’s new in this release

  • [Improvement] Add support for Chinese and Japanese languages when using OCR (PARSERNET‑2833)
    • A new Languages class has been introduced in the GroupDocs.Parser.Options namespace.
    • GroupDocs.Parser.Options.OcrOptions now includes a Languages Languages property that lets you specify the OCR language set.

These updates enable you to run text recognition on documents that contain Chinese or Japanese characters directly through the parser API.

Usage example

// Create an instance of Parser class
using (Parser parser = new Parser(documentPath))
{
    OcrOptions ocrOptions = new OcrOptions()
    {
        Language = Language.Jpn   // Set OCR language to Japanese
    };
    TextOptions options = new TextOptions(false, true, ocrOptions);
    TextReader result = parser.GetText(options);
    string text = result.ReadToEnd();
    Console.WriteLine(text);
}

The same approach works for Chinese by setting Language = Language.Chn (or the appropriate enum value defined in Languages).
