How to recognize and parse MICR information

The attached C# project shows you how to add a zone to our OCR specifically for the MICR font.  It also shows you how to parse the MICR codes returned displaying the symbols in a text box and the corresponding byte values (as hexidecimal values.)

By default it will load the sample image we ship with our tool kit or you can select an image from your local drive.  You draw a box around the area where the MICR code is located on the image, the application then uses the OCR engine to parse the information, and display the results in the text box beneath the image.  You can switch between the OCR engines LEADTOOLS supports and you have the option to save the results to disk as a PDF.

The font used to display the MICR characters is "Arial Unicode MS"  Be sure to install this if you do not have it already on your machine to see the MICR characters.

The project is in Visual Studio 2008

The project has been updated to version 18. I also added the ability to scan from a scanner, which will Auto Crop the scanned image to the size of the check.

Updated to LEADTOOLS v19 with Visual Studio 2017. Also changed project to automatically select dll's for running in 32-bit and 64-bit.
Extract to "C:\LEADTOOLS 19\Examples\DotNet\CS\" to use the example.
