Aspose.OCR for C++
Overview
processes scanned images or even smartphone photos in GIF format and creates GIF documents containing recognized text. To add it to your project, you just need to get Aspose.OCR
Aspose Maven Repository or specify Aspose Maven Repository configuration and install it within your Maven-based project by adding the following configurations to the pom.xml. For Graddle, Ivy, Sbt examples check out our repository .
Package Manager Console Command
PM> Install-Package Aspose.OCR.Cpp
With C++ OCR and just a few lines of code, you can create full-featured application that converts an GIF image to DOC document:
- Create an instance of AsposeOcr class
- Call AsposeOCR.asposeocr_page() method
- Pass the GIF file path as parameter
- AsposeOCR.asposeocr_page returns a String or file of DOC type
System Requirements
Before running the example, make sure that Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime 1.7.0 or above is added to the project. It should be automatically installed if you install Aspose.OCR via NuGet Package Manager.
- NET Standard 2.0+ compatible solution
- Aspose.OCR for .NET referenced in your project.
std::string img_path = "../srcSample.png";
// Prepare buffer for result (in symbols, len_byte = len * sizeof(wchar_t))
const size_t len = 4096;
wchar_t bfr[len] = { 0 };
size_t result = aspose::ocr::page(image_path.c_str(), bfr, len);
//Print result
std::wcout << bfr << L"\n";
GIF What is GIF File Format
A GIF or Graphical Interchange Format is a type of highly compressed image. Owned by Unisys, GIF uses the LZW compression algorithm that does not degrade the image quality. For each image GIF typically allow up to 8 bits per pixel and up to 256 colours are allowed across the image. In contrast to a JPEG image, which can display up to 16 million colours and fairly touches the limits of the human eye. Back when the internet emerged, GIFs remained the best choice because they required low bandwidth and compatible for the graphics that consume solid areas of colour. An animated GIF combines numerous images or frames into a single file and displays them in a sequence to generate an animated clip or a short video. The colour limitations are up to 256 for each frame and are likely to be the least suitable for reproducing other images and photographs with colour gradient.

Files with .doc extension represent documents generated by Microsoft Word or other word processing documents in binary file format. The extension was initially used for plain text documentation on several different operating systems.
