Standalone API Usage

This section describes the basic structure of a standalone application using the API. See the source referenced in Example Programs. Typically, your application takes the following actions:

  1. Create an EDKFactory instance and use GetTextExtractionEngine to construct an ITextExtractionEngine.

  2. Use the engine GetSession() method to create an ITextExtractionSession.

  3. Add UTF-8 encoded data to the session, for example by using SetInputStream or AddInputText.

  4. Iterate over the session to obtain IExtractionMatch results.
