I have been reviewing replacements for the Office 2007 MODI OCR (OneNote's 2010 solution has lesser quality/results than 2007 :-( ). I notice that Windows 7 contains an OCR library once you install the optional tiff filter
The OCR component gets installed to
%programfiles%\Common Files\microsoft shared\OCR\7.0\xocr3.psp.dll
but I don't see any API for it?
Does anyone see how this can be interfaced preferably in C#?
ANSWER: Found the soluation, once the optional tiff ifilter win7 feature is installed, i can then get a textoutput of a screenshot using the code/exe on http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/IFilter.aspx. Also if add the same [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.tiff\PersistentHandler] for .png and .jpg then OCR also works for jpg and png's.

You can improve and customize it - it is open source The (a9t9) Free OCR Software converts scans or (smartphone) images of text documents into editable files by using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technologies. It uses state-of-the-art modern OCR software.
Microsoft's OCR technologies support extracting printed text in several languages. Follow a quickstart to get started with the REST API or a client SDK. Or, try out the capabilities of OCR quickly and easily in your browser using Vision Studio.
