EZTwain Pro 3.0 - OCR / ICR Resources
Overview 
Download Licensing Features Code Wizard Stories User Guide
No current Dosadi product provides built-in OCR i.e. of reading the text in a scanned image. However EZTwain Pro (3.20 or later) can interoperate with the Transym TOCR product, and so this ability is inherited by both EZTwainX and Acquire. When combined with the TOCR software, EZTwain Pro provides a convenient OCR SDK with strong scanning features - hiding the complex TOCR interface and making it accessible from a wide variety of programming languages.
