Is there any library or code samples to convert an image to text in the .net compact framework? I have seen an app on a mobile phone that you can take a picutre of a business card and it will auto fill in a contact record so I know it is possible but I was wondering how to do it. I searched google and can't seem to find anything specific for the compact framework, does anyone out there have any ideas? Thanks

A:
OCR is a tricky beast, which is why you probably won't find many free, high-quality, OCR engines. The OCR app on your phone (I'm guessing it's an HTC phone with WorldCard Mobile?) probably has an extremely-well-protected OCR engine or it farms out the work via a webservice.
