Hi you can use the MODI(Microsoft Office Document Imaging) located at MDIVWCTL.DLL
you have to add a reference to this COM
1- Create a Document Instance and Assign an Image File

_MODIDocument = new MODI.Document(); 
_MODIDocument.Create(imagefilepath);

2-Call the OCR Method

_MODIDocument.OCR(_MODIParameters.Language, 
                  _MODIParameters.WithAutoRotation, 
                  _MODIParameters.WithStraightenImage);

first parameter (The Language)
2nd parameter (using autorotation) true/false
3rd parameter (StraightenImage) true/false

You can use OnOCRProgress Event to tracking the image proccess progress

to get the data you create

MODI.Image image = (MODI.Image)_MODIDocument.Images[i];
 MessageBox.Show(image.Layout.Text);

Hi

Try this

Bitmap image = new Bitmap("eurotext.tif");
tessnet2.Tesseract ocr = new tessnet2.Tesseract();
ocr.SetVariable("tessedit_char_whitelist", "0123456789"); // If digit only
ocr.Init(@"c:\temp", "fra", false); // To use correct tessdata
List<tessnet2.Word> result = ocr.DoOCR(image, Rectangle.Empty);
foreach (tessnet2.Word word in result)
    Console.WriteLine("{0} : {1}", word.Confidence, word.Text);

I hope the technology doesn't get too good, the image fuzzed text validation box to prevent reading text from images is unreadable enough as it is.
