OCR with the Tesseract interface

Question

How do you OCR an tiff file using Tesseract\'s interface in c#?
Currently I only know how to do it using the executable.

Answer 1

I discovered today that EMGU now includes a Tesseract wrapper. While the number of unmanaged dlls of the opencv lib might seem a little daunting, it's nothing that a quick copy to your output directory won't cure. From there the actual OCR process is as simple as three lines:

Tesseract ocr = new Tesseract(Path.Combine(Environment.CurrentDirectory, "tessdata"), "eng", Tesseract.OcrEngineMode.OEM_TESSERACT_ONLY);
this.ocr.Recognize(clip);
optOCR.Text = this.ocr.GetText();

"robomatics" put together a very nice youtube video that demonstrates a simple but effective solution.
