-- I have this OCR class in version 14. Now it does not work on version 15. What namespaces, new commands to I need to import/code to make it work
on version 15. Thank you for your help

There are several changes from 14 to 15.  The most major in relation to your snippet would be the OCR namespace.  It has been removed and reorganized into the Leadtools.Document namespace.  The logic won't need to change much, and for the most part you can replace "OCR" with "Document".  For more information regarding changes between 14 and 15, please consult the version history in the .NET help file in the Contents section.
