How to recognise the text from handwriting?
I tried teseract libraries (version 2) but that is not too good. Its updated versions are not working well. And I have downloaded one demo project pocket OCR but that also not compiling.
I have compiled and integrated tesseract libraries but now it is giving me linking error as follows

Can someone help me or point me to some great ressources?
for that we have to set some settings in it
like
tesseract->Init([dataPath cStringUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding], “eng”);
tesseract->SetVariable(“tessedit_char_whitelist”, “ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789.!@#$%^&*()_+/{}|:?<>,~`”);
tesseract->AllWordConfidences();
give it whitelist as your reqirement
and set mode to default
or as per your requirment
