Habe a look at the Image Processing Toolkit[^]. This offers some options that may help you.

Did you try the OCT using this code? If you did, how good it this? Usually they have trouble recognizing non-English text with Unicode.

Please see my answer -- this is what I used and where I found some. There are very good incomplete works on CodeProject, but all I know is C#.

Thank you for the 5.
No I did not actually. Just found the link useful for the OP.

This is called OCR — Optical Character Recognition and is a really difficult problem. Good open source code is hard to find, but more projects are emerging.

Please start checking from this list:
