Any free OCR Library for C#?

Is there any free OCR Library for C#? Thanks.

A: 

MODI, which is part of Microsoft Office I believe, works reasonably well. I used it in a project about a year ago, and results were good for my purposes.

If you have Office available in your environment, you might try this .NET wrapper.

I wouldn't call that "free" so much as "probably already on your work PC".

If you're ok with using an external, web-based API to do the OCR, take a look at http://www.wisetrend.com/wisetrend_ocr_cloud.shtml

Sample code in .NET (C#) to use this: http://snipt.org/lOgh/
