Extracting text from invoices

Even a small business may deal with dozens of printed invoices per day. Manual re-typing is time consuming and error-prone, and even a single mistake may result in significant losses.

Aspose.OCR offers a special recognition algorithm that extracts text from scanned invoices, which can then be automatically sent to accounting programs, databases or banks.

To extract text from an invoice, use RecognizeInvoice method of Aspose.OCR.AsposeOcr class.

This method allows you to customize recognition accuracy, performance, and other settings.

The method returns a RecognitionResult object containing the invoice data.

Read invoice from path

Aspose.OCR.AsposeOcr recognitionEngine = new Aspose.OCR.AsposeOcr();
Aspose.OCR.InvoiceRecognitionSettings recognitionSettings = new Aspose.OCR.InvoiceRecognitionSettings();
recognitionSettings.Language = Aspose.OCR.Language.Latin;
Aspose.OCR.RecognitionResult result = recognitionEngine.RecognizeInvoice("invoice.png", recognitionSettings);
Console.WriteLine(result.RecognitionText);

Read invoice from memory

Aspose.OCR.AsposeOcr recognitionEngine = new Aspose.OCR.AsposeOcr();
Aspose.OCR.InvoiceRecognitionSettings recognitionSettings = new Aspose.OCR.InvoiceRecognitionSettings();
recognitionSettings.Language = Aspose.OCR.Language.Latin;
using(MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
{
	using(FileStream fs = new FileStream("invoice.png", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
	{
		fs.CopyTo(ms);
		Aspose.OCR.RecognitionResult result = recognitionEngine.RecognizeInvoice(ms, recognitionSettings);
		Console.WriteLine(result.RecognitionText);
	}
}
