If you have Microsoft Office you can use the Microsoft Office Document Imaging (MODI) Component to achieve your goal of OCR

If you are simply looking to load in a JPEG image then OCR that image to extract the text then you should check out the LEADTOOLS OCR SDK. You can see the OCR Engine in action with a demo in which you can test out with your actual JPEG to see the accuracy of the engine. http://demo.leadtools.com/JavaScript/OCR/index.html Here is also a small code snippet that will show you how simple it can be to create your own OCR application to retrieve the text from the image // Initialize the OCR engine ocrEngine = OcrEngineManager.CreateEngine(OcrEngineType.Advantage false ); // Startup the engine ocrEngine.Startup( null  null  null  @ C:\LEADTOOLS 19\Bin\Common\OcrAdvantageRuntime ); using (IOcrDocument ocrDocument = ocrEngine.DocumentManager.CreateDocument()) { //Load image RasterImage image = ocrEngine.RasterCodecsInstance.Load(file 1 CodecsLoadByteOrder.Rgb 1 -1); //Add pages ocrDocument.Pages.AddPages(image 1 -1 null ); //Recognize Page ocrDocument.Pages.Recognize( null ); //Save Text ocrDocument.Save(outPut Leadtools.Forms.DocumentWriters.DocumentFormat.Xls null ); Console.WriteLine( Done ); Console.ReadLine(); }
