I've been looking to do this for a while now, and no I don't plan on trying to make a captcha reader, as I know that would be near impossible. But I have just a simple fonted image with a string of text inside of the image, and I would like to know how if possible to read the text out of the image, and put it into a string.

Here is the image w/ the text inside, pretty basic font.

I want the program to be able to read the text out of that image, and put it into a declared string.

Thanks TTG.

I don't really program that much any more but I know a captcha that would only have a few images would be pretty easy to make(:

Example...
If Picturebox1.visible and textbox1.text = "Put the text here which is in the captcha"

I don't know if that would work as I say, I don't program a lot anymore.

Ohh aha,
Sorry I must have read it wrong, you should try hackforums.
They would be more help as their community is based on programming(:

Microsoft did a component called MODI (Microsoft Office Document Imaging) in Office 2003 and Office 2007.

This uses OCR (Optical character recognition) to scan an image and retrieve text.

Or you can use an OCR Tool, heres a good free one [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Remember this will only be any good on high res pictures and straight line text.
