Question

How to extract coordinates of different objects in FineReader Engine?

Answer

Character

To get character coordinates use Left, Top, Right and Bottom properties of the CharParams object.

Word

To get word coordinates, use Word.Region

Paragraph

To get paragraph coordinates use Left, Top, Right and Bottom properties of the Paragraph object.

Block

To get block coordinates, use Region property of the Block object.

Note: sometimes the coordinates of the objects are changed, comparing to the original image. This happens because the image being OCRed might go through orientation and geometrical distortion corrections, such as deskew. To restore the original coordinates, please use CoordinatesConverter object
