PKBest Library to Extract Text from Images and Videos Pros: 1. It works accurately and at speed for most images out of the box. I was implementing multithreading in my program, and their multithreaded and Async functions really help me alot to make use of multi-core processors. 2. It has made it very easy and accurate to extract text from Images. I have achieved 98%+ accuracy from very low resolution images. 3. It provides 127 languages including Urdu, Japanese, Korean, and many more. 4. It is compatible with all .Net Framework be it .Net Standard or .Net 7 pre-release, any Application type such as web, Mobile or Desktop and all operating systems including Linux, Mac, and Window. 5. It has comprehensive documentation. We will hardly need to contact their Support. I have tried to contact their support and they are amazing. I got a response within 10 minutes. Cons: 1. I need to download a separate IronOCR Language package for each language to work with. For Example, if I am working with Urdu Language I need to download “IronOCR.Languages.Urdu”. 2. Speed is fast but can be improved with a little coding. How Does It helps me? 1. I was given the task to enter about 1M records of the persons. Those records were listed in an image file. Language was Urdu. I have written a program using this library. I have written a program to extract text from a file and insert the record in the database. In this way 1M record was entered in the database within a few minutes, which would have taken a month if done manually. 2. Another problem it solved was reading the Number Plate of the Car. I have read the number plates using IronOCR.
