Extremely slow performance and unintelligible output

Hello,


I am OCRing TIFs in our application, and in a 268 KB 5 page TIF, it is taking almost 12 minutes to OCR, then outputting a couple lines of random characters (Example: $s’’$9999999999999%%%=$W$#$30%9$$$$$$%$###30)

In comparision, OmniPage takes about 3 seconds, and the text output is as expected.

Is this a configuration error? The language is english and Im using the code from the programmers guide, nothing fancy. I am licensed.

OcrEngine ocrEngine = new OcrEngine();
ocrEngine.Image = ImageStream.FromFile(file);
if (ocrEngine.Process())
…etc write the file
