[![Aspose.OCR for Java logo][1] for a full list of bug fixes and improvements. If you are planning to upgrade the Aspose.OCR for Java API to the latest revision, we would strongly suggest you to check the complete Public API Changes section to know what has been changed in the API so far.

While you are downloading the latest build, here is a look at the showcased features of this release.

Support for Portuguese Language

Aspose.OCR for Java API has extended the support for languages by including Portuguese to its neural network. In order to perform OCR operation for Portuguese language, Aspose.OCR for Java 2.3.0 has provided the specific resources that are required by the OcrEngine to correctly identify the language specific characters. These resources are available for download in an archive at [Aspose download section][2].

Important point to note here is that while setting up OcrEngine to recognize Portuguese language characters, it is required to specify the language specific resource while using LanguageFactory.load method and adding them to the LanguageContainer using the addLanguage method. Please check more details on How to setup OCR process for different languages.

Creating Recognition Notifications

Aspose.OCR for Java API has exposed the NotifierFactory class that allows the users to create objects of type INotifier that in turn can be used to enable the notifications during the OCR process. The com.aspose.ocr.NotifierFactory class supports 5 types of different notifiers as detailed below.

  • symbolNotifier method can be used to create the notifier that causes an event on each recognized symbol.
  • wordNotifier method can be used to create the notifier that causes an event on each recognized word.
  • lineNotifier method can be used to create the notifier that causes an event on each recognized line.
  • blockNotifier method can be used to create the notifier that causes an event on each recognized text block.
  • pageNotifier method can be used to create the notifier that causes an event when a page from a multipage document is recognized.

Source code snippets and more details on this subject are available at Usage of NotifierFactory Class.
