With Java OCR and just a few lines of code, you can create full-featured application that converts an WBMP image to Searchable PDF document:
- Create an instance of AsposeOcr class
- Call AsposeOCR.RecognizePage method
- Pass the WBMP file path as parameter
- AsposeOCR.RecognizePage returns a String or file of Searchable PDF type
System Requirements
Before running the example, make sure that Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) 6.0 (1.6) or later is installed on your system.
- JDK 1.6 or higher is installed.
//Create API instance
AsposeOCR api = new AsposeOCR();
//Prepare rectangles with texts.
ArrayList rectArray = new ArrayList();
rectArray.add(new Rectangle(138, 352, 2033, 537));
rectArray.add(new Rectangle(147, 890, 2033, 1157));
String result = api.RecognizePage("srcImage.png", rectArray);
System.out.println("Result with rect: " + result);
WBMP What is WBMP File Format
WBMP is a monochrome graphics file format optimized for mobile computing devices. WBMP images are monochrome (black & white) so that the image size is kept to a minimum. A black pixel is denoted by 0 and a white pixel is denoted by 1.
