I want to write a program which will allow me to scan the cheque number/bank code and the account number at the bottom of the cheque. I have worked with OCR before but OCR technology doesnt work here. I want to use my camera to do the work. Can someone suggest me some ideas or may be some libraries that i can use with c++. I really appreciate it.

hi,
You are looking for libraries so it seems you already have the SDK
for your camera.
What you are looking for is a text recognition application .
The camera captures the image and the application processes it to recognize characters and process them accordingly.
There is a popular library called OpenCV[^] which can help you here.
They also have a forum where you can search for related questions.

Have a look at this link[^] too.

hope it helps !!
