Question
My question is similar to this one 842986/how-to-read-text-written-on-a-image, except I'm looking for a way to do it programmatically.
Essentially, does anyone know of a good, and simple, .NET compatible library, that is able to take in, say, a bitmap object or image object, and give me back any text on that image?
cheers
Solution
Try searching for a technology called "OCR" which stands for Optical Character Recognition. There are tons of apps out there that do this including several with a programming SDK.
