Is there a way to force Zxing library to scan text only? I am looking for the offline (non-cloud) solution to scan text in windows phone.
OR
The integrated Bing vision successfully scans text from the image. Is there a way to call the same task in our application (something like Microsoft.Phone.Tasks)?
As far as i know, there’s no native .NET OCR engines. In theory, you could use any OCR SDK that worked for Win CE (as long as WP7 is based on it), but in practice – i haven’t seen any working solution yet and all OCR applications for WP7 that i’ve seen were based on cloud services. I can point you to some ready to go cloud solutions if you’d change your mind about web API.
