Description

Provide an image for Tesseract to recognize.
The plugin makes a copy of the image.

Please do not pass PDF files. For PDF you either need to extract image (for scans) or raster PDF pages as images. Our functions PDFKit.GetPDFPageImage or DynaPDF.RenderPage can help here.
If the PDF file contains real text, please use PDFKit.GetPDFText, PDFKit.GetPDFPageText, DynaPDF.ExtractText, DynaPDF.ExtractPageText or DynaPDF.ExtractPageRectText. This will not do OCR, but extract the text directly.

Examples

Set image reference:

MBS( "OCR.SetImage"; $img )
