I seraching for a free .Net (C#) library that i can use to scan from a document scanner and then OCR the document so i can get the text from it to save in a database.
After some search i can not find anyone working in Visual Studio 2010 and .Net 4, someone knows any libs that works like this?
You can use WIA library to control the scanning process and tesseractdotnet for OCR. An updated .NET 4.0 version can be found here.
