I've written an OCR wrapper library around the Microsoft Office Document Imaging COM API, and in a Console App running locally, it works flawlessly, with every test. Sadly, things start going badly when we attempt to integrate it with a WCF service running as an ASP.Net Web Application, under IIS6. We had issues around trying to free u...

The solution is in a Windows Service, but now I'm running into some errors that I'm having trouble tracking down info on. The exception I get is: The server threw an exception. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80...
I am about building an C#-application in which I am trying to read text from an gif-image (OCR) - I am using MODI and the images are a bit like a lotto coupon (random numbers in rows and columns).

I am currently using Microsoft's MODI (Microsoft Office Document Imaging) to read text in an image in C#.

I have an app where I'm using MODI 2007 to OCR several multi-page tiff files. I have found that when I kick it off on a directory that contains several good tiffs but also some tiffs that cannot be opened in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, then MODI also fails to OCR those "bad" tiffs. When this happens, the app is unable to reclaim an...
Hi folks, I am using MODI to read tiff images and do what I need to do with the text.

Hi is it possible to extract text from an OCRed pdf file by using Microsoft Document Imaging? ...
I have recently been using the builtin OCR functionality of MODI to capture text of a window. I use the window handle and could get text at any region or I could get the coordinates of specific text that I want to search for. It looks like MODI has been depricated, and it isn't included in office 2010 which we're now using, so I need...
