Image to text?

[Techno]

I know usually this isnt possible but, just curious - is it possible to convert a small image, which contains text, into a string/text?

if so - how?

That's exactly what OCR does. It's possible but the algorithms would be extremely complex. I wouldn't like to have to design one or even implement an existing one.

thanks

do you know any OCR SDK's available?

[jmcilhinney]

I can't say that I do. I'd guess if there were some about they would not be free, given the amount of work it would take to develop one. I guess there could be an open source option about.

hmm. thanks any way :)
