I cannot give you a final solution: good OCR is hard to find. Please see my past answers and follow my links, especially to the CodeProject articles: i need an ocr for a camera image capture[^].

The solution depends on the difficulty of your problem. It's possible that even a simple solution like a .NET wrapper of tesseract, a pretty low-quality open-source product can do the trick. You can use such wrapper from Google Code: https://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr[^].

Good luck.

This is the same question[^] you've had asked yesterday (or day before) and I have already posted an answer for reading the characters from an image. You need to use an OCR (Optical Character Recognition; recognizer) to read the characters from an image.

That is a sample project[^] I have provided a link for, and you can download it in C++ and C# language. You would get the idea of building the project for yourself.

Then you should add a reference, "I tried {this} and it didn't work and gives me {this} error" kind of thing. :-) You can however, use the Improve question to edit this one.

I think it seems to have problem with my VS Version as it shows .shproj is not supported by this version of application. As it requires VS2013 and I am using VS2010
