Is there any way to use ABBYY FRE on .NET Core

Question

I am developing application using .NET Core console application.

And I need to use ABBYY FRE in my project.

I have developed .NET Framework 4.5 application previously. I have used FRE using COM object. And it works very well.

But .NET Core works with COM objects not very well. Details are here.

Is there any way to use ABBYY FRE on .NET Core???

Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

External assemblies that target .Net framework should only be used against the framework. Though .Net standard 2.0 applications can be ported to work with .net framework 4.6 and .Net core 2.0, FRE interop dlls are specifically targets .Net framework. So, there's no reason to use them in .net core.

The FRE dlls need windows runtime to work. Unless abbyy releases a package and version for .Net.core, the only way to go.is .net framework and Windows server.

There is no such opportunity for today.

If your application has the opportunity and allows the script, then you can use the Cloud OCR SDK service (inside, from April there will be the latest version of FRE).
