Is there any Scanner and OCR APIs available for .NET?

[skhoury]

Hello all,

I may have to work on an application that will require scanning an image and processing some of the data contained within the image - it is in fact a form, not really an image.

I would ideally like to write the app in C# - does anyone know of any OCR or scanning APIs available?

Or just simply how to scanning an image using C#?

Any leads would be great - thanks all!

This costs some money but has proven well for me. There is a fully functional trial version that pops up a "register" dialog box and can't be used in production unless you actually register it.

Informatik is good at scanning and reading barcodes.
