Description

size_t asposeocr_page_from_uri(const char* uri,wchar_t* buffer,size_t buffer_size,RecognitionSettings settings);

Optical character recognition image from uri with next options: automatic text areas detection, customer text areas detection or recognize the image as one area, automatic detecting and correction skew of the text or without correction skew. Parameters: uri - full path to the image, result - pointer to buffer with recognized string in text or JSON format. buffer_size - the size of buffer reserved for the result. RecognitionSettings settings - allow to set: - all_image (true/false) - turning on means recognizing the image as a single area - correct_skew - detects orientation and auto-rotate image if needed - alphabet - set of allowed characters in the alphabet (symbols for recognition). L”” by default (all alphabet allowed) - format - export_format. Allowed options - text or JSON. In JSON format for rectangles, you will get the extended result with areas coordinates and text in these areas - rectangles - an array of rect structure to set areas for recognition - rectangles_size - the size of rectangles array Return size of result string in wchar_t symbols.

Example (C++17 since filesystem)

#include <iostream>
#include <aspose_ocr.h>
#include <filesystem>
#include <corecrt_io.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
int main()
{
_setmode(_fileno(stdout), _O_U16TEXT);
//Current directory const
std::filesystem::path path{ std::filesystem::current_path() };
/* asposeocr_set_license */
const std::string lic = "/Aspose.Total.lic";
std::filesystem::path license = path.string() + lic;
asposeocr_set_license(license.string().c_str());
/* asposeocr_set_license */
bool lic_result = asposeocr_get_state();
//Recognize image
std::filesystem::path image = path.string() + "/p.png";
// Prepare buffer for result (in symbols, len_byte = len * sizeof(wchar_t))
const size_t len = 4096; wchar_t buffer[len] = { 0 };
/* asposeocr_page_all */
size_t res_len = asposeocr_page_all(image.string().c_str(), buffer, len, true);
//Print result
std::wcout << buffer << L"\n";
/* asposeocr_page_abc_all */
size = asposeocr_page_abc_all(image.string().c_str(), buffer, len, 
L" !\",#$%&()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@[\\]_`{|}" "~ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz", false);
std::wcout << buffer << L"\n";
 
/* asposeocr_page_from_uri*/
