int DetectLanguage(

int minimumConfidence
)
page
The IOcrPage for which to detect its language.
languages
An array of String objects that contains the names of the languages for which to check. The language values used throughout the LEADTOOLS OCR toolkit are string values based on RFC 5646. These string values for the languages and their abbreviations are based on the ISO 639-1 language code list. To see the specific languages supported by the LEADTOOLS OCR SDKs, refer to OCR Languages and Spell-Checking for the lists.
confidences
An array of Int32 objects updated with the confidences of the languages. The array size must be equivalent to the number of items in the languages array. When set to null it will be ignored. The confidence value range is between -1 and 100. A value of -1 means the language is not supported, 0 means it is not confident, and 100 is completely confident.
minimumConfidence
The minimum confidence value at which point to stop checking other languages. If a language's confidence value is equal to or higher than the minimumConfidence value the language check can be stopped.
The index of the language with the highest confidence in the languages parameter.
This method is only supported by the LEADTOOLS OCR Module - LEAD Engine.
Zone language detection is a dictionary-based method. The confidence of a language without a dictionary is low. If a language does not have a dictionary installed, then that language will not be detected and the default (main) language will be used to recognize the text. For example, Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese and Korean do not have dictionaries. If an Asian language text is present in the input image, then you should set the desired language as the default (main) language in the OCR engine in order to recognize text with the highest accuracy. To determine whether a given spell language (dictionary) is supported by the current spell checker engine use IsSpellLanguageSupported. In order to get a list of the languages (dictionaries) supported by the current spell checker engine use GetSupportedSpellLanguages. For more information on OCR languages and spell checkers, refer to IOcrLanguageManager and IOcrSpellCheckManager.
Use the GetSupportedLanguages to obtain a list of the languages supported by the IOcrEngine.
Use the IsLanguageSupported to determine whether a given language is supported by the IOcrEngine.
This example will OCR images for English, French, or German text.
