Sorry if this question is silly or vague but I have been given the task to get ocr implemented at server side during my internship. Where can I get the suitable api to integrate it with my company's site. I have tried using the microsoft vision api but wonder how to get it to server! I am a newbie in IT field. So please help me out with your valauable suggestions. Thanks!

See http://ocrsdk.com its probably the best OCR there is at the moment. Its not perfect and it's quite expensive.
Otherwise there is https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract but it is ancient, written in C++, sucks and leaks memory.
