// Initialize an instance of AsposeOcr
AsposeOcr api = new AsposeOcr();

Create an instance of AsposeOcr to access the OCR functionalities.

Step 3: Recognize Images

// Recognize image
List<RecognitionResult> result = api.RecognizeMultipleImages(
    new List<string> { dataDir + "sample.png", dataDir + "sample_bad.png" },
    new RecognitionSettings { }
).ToList();

Utilize Aspose.OCR to recognize text from multiple images. Adjust the file paths according to your image files.

Step 4: Save Results in Preferred Formats

// Save the result in your preferred format
AsposeOcr.SaveMultipageDocument(RunExamples.GetDataDir_OCR()+"sample.docx", SaveFormat.Docx, result);
AsposeOcr.SaveMultipageDocument(RunExamples.GetDataDir_OCR() + "sample.txt", SaveFormat.Text, result);
AsposeOcr.SaveMultipageDocument(RunExamples.GetDataDir_OCR() + "sample.pdf", SaveFormat.Pdf, result);
AsposeOcr.SaveMultipageDocument(RunExamples.GetDataDir_OCR() + "sample.xlsx", SaveFormat.Xlsx, result);

Choose your desired format (Docx, Text, Pdf, or Xlsx) and save the OCR results as a multipage document.
