Recognize single line

If an image contains a single line of text, it can be recognized in the fastest possible mode, without automated corrections, areas detection, and other resource-consuming steps. To extract text from such images, use recognize_lines method or enable recognize_single_line property in recognition settings.

This method takes OcrInput object and optional recognition settings.

Recognition results are returned as a OcrOutput object, that allow you to perform advanced manipulations with recognition results, including automatic spelling correction and saving results in various formats.

Example

The following code example shows how to extract text from a single-line image:

# Instantiate Aspose.OCR API
api = AsposeOcr()
# Add image to the recognition batch
input = OcrInput(InputType.SINGLE_IMAGE)
input.add("source1.png")
input.add("source2.png")
# Recognize images
results = api.recognize_lines(input)
# Print recognition result
for result in results:
    print(result.recognition_text)

Performance impact

This method is about 7 times faster than normal OCR and is highly recommended for batch processing large numbers of very simple images.

Drawbacks

This method only works for images which contain a single line of text! Using it on multi-line images will lead to incorrect recognition results.
