is there any good .NET OCR library? I'm interested in both free and non-free libraries.

Tesseract is a very good Apache 2.0 licensed OCR engine. I have used it from C++ and had very good results. This question recommends a .NET wrapper called Tessnet.

There are many topics about this on StackOverflow; Tessnet seems a popular choice.

  • There is also a good commercial version based on the tesseract - [tesseract.net sdk](http://tesseract.patagames.com) – Andrew Sep 01 '15 at 16:13

I have used ABBYY FineCapture in the past and I like it quite a bit. This is not free though, but ABBYY also offers some cool products that handle stuff like ICR (hand writing OCR).

It offers some .NET libraries but, most of the work I did with it was within the product itself. You would have to do a little research to see if they will fit your needs.
