JavaScript text recognition and OCR on <canvas> [closed]

I found a web application that recognizes handwritten math equations:

http://webdemo.visionobjects.com/equation.html?locale=default

I would like to know if someone knows an app or a tutorial or an open source project that implements this mechanism, because getting it from this webapp is really complex.

Note: I just need the equation drawn in the canvas to be translated in an input text box that's all.
