OCR

I know this is an older post, but you can use LEADTOOLS Recognition SDK technology in your application.

You can leverage the IOcrEngine interface, which will allow you to recognize and extract text from images and documents.

Here is some sample code:

string fileName = @"FILE PATH TO IMAGE";
using (IOcrEngine _ocrEngine = OcrEngineManager.CreateEngine(OcrEngineType.LEAD))
{
_ocrEngine.Startup(null, null, null, @"C:\LEADTOOLS21\Bin\Common\OcrLEADRuntime"); // FILE PATH TO OCR RUNTIMES
using (IOcrDocument _document = _ocrEngine.DocumentManager.CreateDocument())
{
_document.Pages.AddPages(fileName, 1, -1, null);
foreach (IOcrPage page in _document.Pages)
{
page.Recognize(null);
string text = page.GetText(-1);
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(text))
{
text = "No text extracted.";
}
Console.WriteLine(text);
}
}
}
