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.

Thanks for the response..

I am able to extract English text from the scanned Image using MODI C#.NET.
"http://www.devsource.com/c/a/Languages/Using-The-Office-2007-OCR-Component-in-C/".

But I am not able to get my Local Language text(Telugu) from the Image Is it possible to achieve this?

Please help me regarding this...

Thanks in advance.

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