Add OCR capabilities to your DotImage applications. Atalasoft DotImage OCR is an optical character recognition module for Microsoft .NET developers giving programmers the capability to add character recognition to their applications. Atalasoft's approach to OCR is to provide an object oriented generic interface that can support any OCR engine. This enables users of DotImage OCR to change OCR engines with a single line of code. It's also convenient for testing and evaluating various OCR engines. Atalasoft currently provides three OCR engine interfaces. Their own GlyphReader engine as well as Abbyy, and the royalty-free Tesseract engines.

Using OCR in DotImage requires a license of DotImage Document Imaging. The following OCR Engines are available, each one including the DotImage OCR interface.
