Character/Text Recognition in VB.Net? - KØRRUPT - Apr 7, 2010
Hey HF :D I am looking for a Character or Text recognition source to read a line of text from an image. I had seen a tutorial on HF about it before using Microsoft Word API or something, but failed to find it while searching :(. Basically, a screenshot of the users desktop will be given like so:
Spoiler (Click to View)
And then I would want it to get the 'blank' (any other text recognised doesn't matter, as long as 'blank' is found). So can anyone help me out? I know it is most likely a complicated procedure but a push in the right direction would be a lot of help :D
Thanks.

Though there are places where you can buy OCR code, it is very expnsive, so I recommend you to try Tesseract OCR from google, it's free and there is a good documentation that explains how to implement it in visual basic.
