I have googled all around and can't seem to find a proper library that performs OCR functionalities ported for Windows Phone. I have tried my luck with EMGU CV on the phone but it did not execute due to runtime conflict. Project Hawaii works fine so far but I would prefer a standalone API that does not call services over the cloud.

My questions are:-

1) Is there a Library which I could use on Windows Phone till to date the ones you guys have come across to besides Cloud based APIs?

2) If no, Is there a way to apply Tesseract's API on Windows Phone?

Thanks everyone.

There is is a long thread about OCR on C# at stackoverflow

There is a free OCR application you can download from Windows store named leadtools OCR. The vendors of this application sell toolkit for implementing this. You can check the free application and if you like it, you can download the free version of the toolkit to test it.

Here is the link for that demo:
