    Extract text from Scanned Image

    Hi all,
    I want to extract text from scanned Image using c#.net. I have tried by converting the scanned image to PDF and then extract text from PDF.
    I am extracting text from PDF using pdfbox , and able to get the text from normal PDF file. I am not able to get the text from the PDF file which I converted the Image to PDF.
    Some tools(OCR) are there, but I have to implement using C#.NET.

    Please give some Ideas how to get the text from scanned Image.
    Thanks in advance.

    From what I've heared, OCR with .NET is a bit problematic at this stage. Yes, there are numerous OCR SDKs on Microsoft's site, but I haven't heared much good about them yet.

    maybe you can try Tesseract OCR engine, it's the best open source library. in may opinion, it's higher accurate than MODI.
