"Tesseract engine has not been initialized"

[Peter]

Hi,

I get "Tesseract engine has not been initialized", I am using OCR in a c# class library.
Normally I get the the path with e.g. Server.MapPath(@"\App_Data\".
My folder lies directly under :http://pasteboard.co/qp2zK6CSl.png

I tried @"OCR\", @"\OCR\"  and @"OCR" nothing worked out.

What to do here ?

Hi Peter, 

 

Thank you for your update, 

 

We have thrown the “Tesseract engine is not initialized” exception only if the given path location is missed “liblept168.dll” and “SyncfusionTesseract.dll” assemblies. So kindly provide the physical folder location to perform the OCR, in order to avoid the exception. 

  

Please try our solution and let us know your result.
