Aspose.OCR for C++
Overview
processes scanned images or even smartphone photos in TIFF format and creates TIFF 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 TIFF image to Searchable PDF document:
- Create an instance of AsposeOcr class
- Call AsposeOCR.asposeocr_page() method
- Pass the TIFF file path as parameter
- AsposeOCR.asposeocr_page returns a String or file of Searchable PDF 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";
TIFF What is TIFF File Format
TIFF or TIF, Tagged Image File Format, represents raster images that are meant for usage on a variety of devices that comply with this file format standard. It is capable of describing bilevel, grayscale, palette-color and full-color image data in several color spaces. It supports lossy as well as lossless compression schemes to choose between space and time for applications using the format. The format is extensible and has underwent several revisions that allows the inclusion of an unlimited amount of private or special-purpose information. The format is not machine dependent and is free from bounds like processor, operating system, or file systems.

Searchable PDF files retain the original scanned image for viewing, as well as OCR text in a hidden layer that can be used for full-text searches within a document or highlighting text for copy and paste operations. Full OCR conversion to PDF, not including the original image, will never retain 100% of the original formatting, especially if the document has many images or a complex layout.
