Example

The following code example enumerates through the text of an OCR result and writes to a string, preserving line breaks. It then writes the string to a TextBlock named tbResults.

private void OCR_Completed(object sender, OcrCompletedEventArgs e)
{
    // Make sure there is text.
    if (
            e.Result.Lines.Count == 0)
    {
        tbResults.Text = "No text found.";
        return;
    }

    // Read the text and print it to a TextBlock.
    var sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
    foreach (Line l in 
            e.Result.Lines)
    {
        foreach (Word w in l.Words)
        {
            sb.AppendFormat("{0} ", w.Value);
        }
        sb.AppendLine();
    }
    tbResults.Text = sb.ToString();
}
