Reading the documentation would be a good start don't you think?

Hi everyone, can you please tell me where I can get ferrari's for free. Not the toy ferrari's but the real one. No dents please. And can you pick it up for me and deliver it on my doorstep. Make sure it's red, no other color. Oh , and I want it in two hours.

This post introduces an easy way to write OCR program in C#.
http://www.codepool.biz/ocr-barcode-twain/twain-sdk/have-fun-with-the-wpf-demo-of-net-twain-5-0.html[^]

C#

dynamicDotNetTwainThum.IfShowCancelDialogWhenBarcodeOrOCR = true;
dynamicDotNetTwainThum.OCRResultFormat = Dynamsoft.DotNet.TWAIN.OCR.ResultFormat.Text;
dynamicDotNetTwainThum.OCRLanguage = "eng";
byte[] bytes = dynamicDotNetTwainThum.OCR(dynamicDotNetTwainThum.CurrentSelectedImageIndicesInBuffer); // recognize the buffered image
if (bytes != null)
{
   SaveFileDialog dlg = new SaveFileDialog();
   dlg.Filter = "Text File(*.txt)|*.txt";
   if (dlg.ShowDialog().Value)
   {
      System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes(dlg.FileName, bytes); // write recognized text to text file
   }
}
