I tried the samples in ASPOSE (PrepareRectangles) and GroupDocs (UseAsposeOCRForCloud) and can get them to work. Is there an example of GroupDocs using the non cloud version of ASPOSE? I am using RedactImageArea to redact certain areas and would like to use OCR to redact specific words in other areas. I was thinking of using PrepareRectangles to isolate the area to OCR and then redact specific words but I have no idea how.

Could you please share more details on this scenario? GroupDocs.Redaction for .NET is a back-end (stand-alone) API. We’ll surely help you out if you further elaborate the use-case.
Are you using Aspose.OCR for .NET and GroupDocs.Redaction for .NET together and facing some issues?
if it works, we will be using GroupDocs on a closed network that will not have internet access so the example that uses Aspose.Ocr.Cloud will not work for us. I need to redact approx. 5 millions TIFF images (they contain text) and will be redacting about 100k each year also. There are pre-defined areas that need to be redacted and I can do that using the ImageAreaRedaction method. I’ve already started working on that.
Here is my problem: There are three text areas on the tiff that contain text. Since the text is always in the same location, I want to read the text and then redact specific words in the text areas.
I was trying to use the AsposeOcr.RecognizeImage method used in the PrepareRectangles class in the AsposeOCR examples. I can get the AsposeOCR for .NET examples to work as they are and I can get the GroupDocs.Redaction for .NET examples to work as they are. I can also get the GroupDocs example that uses Aspose ocr for cloud to work. What I would like to do is get redaction and ocr (not cloud) to work together.

For text reading (from images), you have to use Aspose.OCR on-premise/stand-alone API. Once you read the text and know it’s position, you could use GroupDocs.Redaction to redact that particular area/position.
How do I find the text position? I tried to follow the example in Location of identified text - Free Support Forum - aspose.com but I can’t find the OCREngine.
is there an example that uses Aspose.OCR instead of Aspose.OCR-Cloud (UseAsposeOCRForCloud.cs) nuget package?
There is no example using Aspose.OCR on-premise API at this moment, but we are working together with Aspose.OCR team to add it with one of upcoming releases.
GroupDocs.Redaction for .NET public examples have been updated. You can find the corresponding documentation article at Use Aspose.OCR for .NET on-premise API | Documentation
