Loads the OCR engine settings from a .NET stream.
public void Load(
Stream stream
)
Overloads Sub Load( _
ByVal stream As Stream _
)
void Load(
Stream^ stream
)
stream
The stream to read the settings from.
Once you set up the OCR engine, you can re-use these settings by saving the engine state into memory or to an XML file on disk. Later, reload these settings and use them in the same or a different instance of IOcrEngine.
The following table lists all the states loaded from the XML file. After the load operation completes, some or all of the settings below will be changed.
Part | Members |
---|---|
IOcrSettingManager (accessed through IOcrEngine.SettingManager | All the settings as obtained through IOcrSettingManager.GetSettingNames |
IOcrLanguageManager (accessed through IOcrEngine.LanguageManager | The value of IOcrLanguageManager.GetEnabledLanguages |
IOcrSpellCheckManager (accessed through IOcrEngine.SpellCheckManager | The values of IOcrSpellCheckManager.SpellCheckEngine and IOcrSpellCheckManager.SpellLanguage. |
IOcrDocumentManager (accessed through IOcrEngine.DocumentManager | The values of the IOcrDocumentManager.RejectionSymbol and IOcrDocumentManager.MissingSymbol. |
You can save the settings to a .NET stream using Save, you can load and save the settings to a disk file using Load and Save.
This example changes some OCR engine settings and saves them into a memory stream. It shuts down the engine, restarts it and reloads the last settings used.
