/// <summary>
        /// Gets the confidence percentile for the current element at the

        public float GetConfidence(PageIteratorLevel level)
        {
            return TessApi.TessResultIteratorConfidence(Handle, level);
        }


I use a custom .NET layer somewhat similar to Tesseract.net. 
The Handle is returned from TessBaseAPIGetIterator() after a page is 
recognized, and level defines the element type (PageIteratorLevel.Symbol 
for characters, PageIteratorLevel.Word for words)
