OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is the recognition of printed or written text characters by a computer. This involves photoscanning of the text character-by-character, analysis of the scanned-in image , and then translation of the character image into character codes, such as ASCII, commonly used in data processing. OCR translates image s of text , such as scanned documents, into actual text characters. Also known as text recognition, OCR makes it possible to edit and reuse the text that is normally locked inside scanned image s. OCR works using a form of artificial intelligence known as pattern recognition , to identify individual text characters on a page, including punctuation marks, spaces, and ends of lines. Read More

you can use tesseract ocr engine, it's the best open source ocr library i used. and before you starting, you can go to this free online ocr(http://www.online-code.net/ocr.html) using tesseract ocr 3.02 to have a test, it's with high accuracy and speed.

To my knowledge, OCR features are not supported by the default .NET classes. So you will need to use a programming SDK that supports OCR functionality. I am currently using the OCR Advantage module from leadtools to add the OCR features to my project. I started using leadtools after reading the following tutorial: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/534421/Multi-Platform-OCR-with-LEADTOOLS
