VB.NET OCR library is an optical character recognition library for Visual Basic .NET projects, generally compiled to the .NET Framework. Iron OCR allows images, PDFs, scans, and photographs to be read for text, and that text returned as a string back to the developer. Coming soon for .Net Core and .NET Standard. https://ironsoftware.com/csharp/ocr/technology/ocr-vb-net/ or https://www.nuget.org/packages/IronOcr/
