VS2013

I need to use Microsoft OCR in my standalone Winforms desktop application. Will it work with following software?

Operating system= 8.1
Winforms in VS 2013

Their specifications states following requirements:

Client = Windows 8.1
Server = Windows Server 2012 R2
Phone = Windows Phone 8.1

I am confused for the need for separate Client and Server? Do I need to install a separate Client and a separate server machine having the above different OS ?
My only requirement is to run the standalone Winforms/WPF C# application with the Microsoft OCR library?
Please help..

There is no need (or place) for client/server separation...These libraries are standalone, the list of supported operating systems has 3 entries for every type of operating systems the library supports. Minimum for desktop, minimum for server and minimum for phone...
What you should consider however is that these libraries are in constant changes and the current MSDN page mentions Windows 10 as minimum...
Also consider the languages supported by the library - as I understand, at this point there is no way to teach the engine a new language...

Thanks Peter, but what is server here ?? I am developing a standalone winforms PC(read desktop) application, there is no need for server client terminology !!
That is what confusing me,
So instead of 3 entries, there should be only 2 entries: One for desktop and other for phone !!

There is no server here! That's what I explaining to you...All that supported operating system thing tells you, that MsOCR supported on all those platforms...
