I read a lot about Tesseract. Unfortunately, It's not using latest "technics" in OCR such as hidden Marcov Model...

Solution 4

Open source library? I'll choose Tesseract OCR
Check the .NET wrapper for tesseract-ocr:
https://github.com/charlesw/tesseract[^]
You can also read the article How to Build Tesseract OCR Library on Windows[^] to get familiar with the library.

I personally used ABYY fine reader, it is very easy to use integrate it in .NET and gives me accurate results. However you may have to pay for it
