See how to extract text from scanned PDF using the Syncfusion .NET OCR Library. In this video, I will demonstrate how to create a .NET console application in Visual Studio and install the Syncfusion OCR package.

The Syncfusion .NET Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Library is used to extract text from scanned PDFs and images. With a few lines of C# code, a scanned PDF document containing a raster image is converted into a searchable and selectable PDF document. You can save the OCR result as text, structured data, or searchable PDF documents.
The .NET OCR Library uses a powerful Tesseract OCR engine. It supports Cross-platform and cloud platforms such as Azure (Web Apps, Websites, Web Services, and Functions) and AWS (EC2, Lambda). Key features: Converts image to searchable PDF/A, Zonal text extraction, Extract text from an image, and OCR on a rotated page.
