hii I have MCA final year project to extract data from image(jpg,gif,etc) I want to recognize data from image i have used java ocr but it is not working is there any open source libraries which can help me

A: 

Here is a java based OCR tool. The page claims that the tool can recognize triangles and other patterns from letters - they have given sample images too. The code is open source and downloadble.

Did you try Asprise?

tesseract is an open source OCR tool, but it's not in Java. See tesseract in action

tesseract source code in c++ is available in google code. http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/ That's all I know.

A: 

Matlab has a trainable OCR that has been used to break capthcas. Unfortunately the group that broke the capthcas didn't release source code. However, here is example code of training Matlab's ocr.

The matlab code will easily compile into your java project.
