Hi,<br />
I am looking for an inexpensive or free OCR component that I can use from vb 2005 to OCR a specified region on a .jpg image. There will be multiple similar images. The region will contain a numeric number that I need in text for further processing in the app. The project is only worth a few hundred $ and therefore I cannot justify paying a lot for the OCR part.<br />
I have downloaded Xp Ideas SDK but cannot get it to work. I cannot find any code examples for this. Would appreciate some help.<br />
<br />
regards<br />

OCR Component for VB 2005

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

Websites use graphics to enhance information, assist navigation, and generally improve the user’s experience. To create those graphics, developers use any number of programs, like the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop and Flash have their own topics), the CorelDraw suite, Xara, Gimp, ACDSee, Serif, ULead and others.
