Description
Create an OCR object for the specified language.Many languages are available as separate files.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| language | Language code of OCR recognition (e.g. 'eng', 'fra') |
| path | Folder containing language data files |
| engine | OCR engine to use |
| languages | A list of languages |

Examples
OCR := IEVisionLib.createOCR(IEOCRLanguageList[OCR_English_language].Code);str := OCR.recognize(ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.GetIEVisionImage(), IEVisionRect(0, 0, 0, 0)).c_str();
OR
sLanguage := 'fra'; // French
if FileExists( IncludeTrailingPathDelimiter( ExtractFilePath( Application.ExeName )) + sLanguage + '.traineddata' ) = False then
raise Exception.create( 'Language file not found' );
OCR := IEVisionLib.createOCR( sLanguage );
str := OCR.recognize(ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.GetIEVisionImage(), IEVisionRect(0, 0, 0, 0)).c_str();
OR for multiple languages:
var
langs: TIEVisionVectorString;
langs := IEVisionLib.createVectorString();
langs.push_back( IEOCRLanguageList[ OCR_English_language ].Code ); // load English
langs.push_back( IEOCRLanguageList[ OCR_Italian_language ].Code ); // load Italian
m_OCR := IEVisionLib.createOCR( '', langs );
str := m_OCR.recognize(ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.GetIEVisionImage(), IEVisionRect(0, 0, 0, 0)).c_str();
