Get text from Images using Asprise Java

How to extract Text from Images ?

By using Asprise Java OCR(optical character recognition) we can extract Text and barcode information from scanned documents.

Follow below steps to extract text from Image:

Add Asprise Java OCR as maven dependency to your project.

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.asprise.ocr</groupId>
    <artifactId>java-ocr-api</artifactId>
    <version>15.3.0.1</version>
</dependency>

After adding maven dependency,below is code we can use:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.RenderedImage;
import java.net.URL;
import com.asprise.ocr.Ocr;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;

public class voculabaru {
    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {

       //here we are starting OCR engine
        Ocr.setUp();
        Ocr ocr = new Ocr();
        ocr.startEngine("eng", Ocr.SPEED_FASTEST);

        String imageURL = "https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cxzu35QNkWo/Xs_3L_qikpI/AAAAAAAABBY/kPh-YT_Ojx0pclqcw6QN2j-uuWlZZ16LACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/image_text.png";

        URL url = new URL(imageURL);
        Image image = ImageIO.read(url);
        String s = ocr.recognize((RenderedImage) image, "all", "text");
        System.out.println("Text From Image : \n" + s);
        System.out.println("Length of total text : \n" + s.length());
    }
}

Where imageURL is my input image(below image) where i will extract text.

Run the code then we see output like below:

Text From Image : 
You are always
stronger than
you think you
are

Length of total text : 
47
