Aspose.OCR for Java 25.11.0 - Release Notes

What was changed

Public API changes and backwards compatibility

This section lists all public API changes introduced in Aspose.OCR for Java 25.11.0 that November affect the code of existing applications.

Added public APIs:

The following public APIs have been introduced in this release:

RecognizeFormula(OcrInput input, boolean detectAreas) method

A specialized recognition method for extracting and recognizing formulas from images.

RecognizeFormula() method has parameter:

• boolean detectAreas If set to true, automatically detects and isolates formula regions before performing recognition. If false, processes the entire image as a formula.

OCRTable class

Represents the full result of table recognition for all processed pages.

OCRTablePage class

Represents table recognition results for a single page. A page consists of multiple rows extracted from the recognized table.

OCRTableRow class

A row contains a collection of cells, each holding text from a corresponding column.

OCRTableCell class

Represents a single table cell. A cell contains recognized text and its position in the row.

Updated public APIs:

The following public APIs have been changed in Aspose.OCR for Java 25.11.0 release:

Format enumeration

Aspose.OCR for Java can now output csv files:

OcrOutput class with method getTableData()

Aspose.OCR for Java can now output table data:

Deprecated APIs

The following public APIs have been marked as deprecated and will be removed in 25.11.0 (November 2025) release:

RectangleOutput class

AsposeOCR.DetectRectangles method

RecognitionResult.recognitionAreasText

RecognitionResult.recognitionAreasRectangles

RecognitionResult.skew

CharacterRecognitionResult.ImageIndex

SkewOutput.ImageIndex

Removed public APIs:

No changes.

Examples

The code samples below illustrate the changes introduced in this release:

Recognize formulas

import com.aspose.ocr.models.*;

// Initialize recognition API
AsposeOCR api = new AsposeOCR();

// Add an image to OcrInput object
com.aspose.ocr.OcrInput input = new OcrInput(InputType.SingleImage);
input.Add("source.png");

// Detect and recognize formulas on the image
com.aspose.ocr.OcrOutput results = api.RecognizeFormula(input, true);

// Print recognized text with confidence
for (RecognitionResult result : results) {
    System.out.println("Text: " + result.recognitionText);   
}

Recognize tables

import com.aspose.ocr.models.*;

// Initialize recognition API
AsposeOCR api = new AsposeOCR();

// Add an image to OcrInput object
com.aspose.ocr.OcrInput input = new OcrInput(InputType.SingleImage);
input.Add("source.png");


RecognitionSettings set = new RecognitionSettings();
set.setDetectAreasMode(com.aspose.ocr.models.DetectAreasMode.TABLE);

// Detect and recognize table data
com.aspose.ocr.OcrOutput results = api.Recognize(input, set);

// Get table result
com.aspose.ocr.models.OCRTable table =  results.getTableData();

// Print recognized table data in rows and cols
for(OCRTablePage page : table.getPages()) {
    System.out.println("page index: "+page.getPageIndex());
    for(OCRTableRow row : page.getRows()) {
        System.out.println("row index: "+row.getRowIndex());
        for(OCRTableCell cell : row.getCells()) {
            System.out.print("cell index: "+cell.getColumnIndex()+": ");
            System.out.println(cell.getText());
        }
    }
}

Save results as CSV file

// Save results as csv file
results.save("D://result.csv", Format.Csv);
