public IOcrAutoRecognizeManager AutoRecognizeManager { get; } 
@property (nonatomic, strong, readonly) LTOcrAutoRecognizeManager *autoRecognizeManager

   IOcrAutoRecognizeManager^ get(); 
} 
AutoRecognizeManager # get  (IOcrEngine) 

Property Value

The IOcrAutoRecognizeManager that allow you to do one shot "fire and forget" OCR operations.

Remarks

The AutoRecognizeManager provides methods to convert a single or multipage image file to an OCR'ed document using one call. This could be desired when the default setting of the engine provides the required final document and no fine tuning is required.

The AutoRecognizeManager also provide support for callbacks to monitor the various OCR operations, logging and tracing as well as allowing the user to abort at any time.

For more information, refer to IOcrDocumentManager.

You must call the Startup method before you can use the AutoRecognizeManager.
