[Uncoder]

Hi,
i'm looking for an Optical Character recognition (ocr) script or plug-in for xcode or any thing that can helps me detect characters from a photo and convert them to text ... i believe it exists as a lot of aps use this kind of technology (code bar , text from photo, etc...)
Thank you

Wow, forum search is broken when searching for OCR. But here's an old thread that has links to the only 2 I've heard of: http://www.iphonedevsdk.com/forum/ip.../5359-ocr.html
