I need a small, self-hosted OCR service written in C# (.NET 6 or later) that accepts a Base64-encoded image and instantly returns the recognised text. Tesseract must be the engine under the hood, configured for English only, with any preprocessing kept lightweight so the full request/response cycle stays in the low-millisecond range on a typical workstation. The DLL or minimal Web API you build has to be thread-safe so several parallel calls will not block each other. I’ll plug this straight into existing .NET applications, so please expose a clean public method or REST endpoint, document every parameter, and keep external dependencies to a minimum. Deliverables • Complete, well-commented source code and solution files • Build/run instructions and NuGet package list • A short demo project (console or unit test) showing a Base64 request and the returned text • Any tuned Tesseract configs or traineddata you use Acceptance criteria The demo must extract English text from a sample image I provide with at least 95 % accuracy and respond in under 200 ms on my test machine. If these numbers slip we can profile and optimise together, but the baseline needs to be close. Let me know your experience with Tesseract on .NET and any ideas you have for quick image pre-processing to boost accuracy without adding latency.

Good day. I did a similar project, but using "Managed-C++ + CLR". I can develop thread-safe DLL with demo app and test: as you need. > under 200 ms Depend on what machine you are use. At least, need machine with AVX-capable CPU. > 95 % accuracy I suspect it won't work on the first try, but we'll teach him.

Hi, I have built highly optimized, thread-safe C# wrappers around Tesseract using native .NET Standard/.NET 6+ bindings, specifically tailored for sub-200ms processing in high-concurrency environments. For your baseline, I can implement lightweight Grayscale conversion and Otsu thresholding directly via memory streams to boost Tesseract's accuracy without incurring the disk I/O latency of external imaging libraries. I am ready to deliver the minimal Web API alongside the parallel-execution unit tests to ensure it seamlessly integrates into your existing infrastructure.

Hi There, I can build a high-performance, self-hosted OCR service in C# (.NET 6+) using Tesseract configured exclusively for English, optimized for low-latency text extraction from Base64-encoded images. The solution can be delivered either as a lightweight class library (DLL) or a minimal ASP.NET Web API, depending on how you plan to integrate it into your existing applications. My approach focuses on performance first: a thread-safe architecture with pooled Tesseract engine instances, efficient memory management, and minimal image preprocessing. Rather than expensive image transformations, I typically use lightweight grayscale conversion, adaptive thresholding when necessary, and image normalization only when it improves recognition accuracy. This keeps response times well within your target range while maintaining high OCR quality. Deliverables will include: • Complete source code and Visual Studio solution files • Fully documented public API or REST endpoint • Build and deployment instructions • NuGet dependency list • Demo console application and/or unit tests • Tesseract language data and configuration files • Performance and accuracy testing guidance I have experience building .NET services focused on throughput, concurrency, and image-processing workloads. I am comfortable profiling OCR pipelines and optimizing both accuracy and response times to meet strict performance requirements. Best regards, ENOCK ISABOKE
