Any help on converting an image composed from letters, to text??

[mondi]

Hello everybody.
I have to make a program in C# that gets an image from scanner (or from any saved image file) which is composed from letters (e.g. a passport) and convert it to text. For example to get the first name and the last name at the passport and convert it to text.
I would be very thankful for any help on this problem

and those things don't come cheap and you nearly alway have to pay on a per user basis. I tried the barcode recognition module from atalasoft and it worked pretty well. but there are plenty more.

Yes, thanks, but I think it's a real challenge to try to do something by your own. May be that's what I will try to do. Once I had to do with the neural networks. I don't know but I don't like to use someone else's software.
Thank you however
