C# .NET OCR Components

[Bob Campbell]

I am trying to find C# .NET components that will allow me to scan an image
file (.jpg, .bmp, etc.), extract information and file the form as a .doc,
..xls or even put the information into an SQL database.

There are a few packages being sold (OCR Tools, LEADTOOLS, OCRExpress), but
they are all in the range of $3000 - $4000 for a developer license and
$300-$400 for each application installed after development.

Does anyone know of reasonably priced .NET C# OCR components that I could
include in my application?

Thanks,
Bob Campbell

application.Sea rch for an open source OCR software.And also i saw some
cheaper OCR tools on net.

Not sure if it is what you need, but you can also use the OCR support
from Microsoft Office to do OCR detection for free(if you own Office)
in C# applications.
