Tesseract is currently under Apache License. If you are planning a commercial application, that means you should include a copy of the Apache license, and you display a copy of the required copyright notice wherever your program displays copyright notices.

Here is a link to someone who is using the engine in their android app.

I followed this blog( http://tinsuke.wordpress.com/2011/02/17/how-to-cross-compiling-libraries-for-ios-armv6armv7i386/ ). It worked for me.

Tesseract limitation for iPhone iso ? any other OCR engine for ios

i want to use Tesseract for my iphone app for OCR, but its not recognise the low resolution image text, so whats the limitation of Tesseract OCR for iPhone SDK

Abbyy cloud is an cloud service for doing OCR online.
Tesseract works great on iOS. The hardest part is installation.
Here is a sample project that uses it on github:
https://github.com/AdamGluck/split
(Disclosure, this is a project I worked on for fun. However, it implements tesseract for iOS.)
We used this framework:

I'll note that we got better results when we made the image a sharper black and white (in the project). Although this was not that necessary to get good results.

Command line SAPI text-to-speech to WAV/MP3

As the title says I need to be able to create a WAV or MP3 file using SAPI on Windows XP.
I can install basically anything needed if anyone can recommend a third party application which would allow me to do this.
In terms of programming languages really only VB6 is available on the target machine (yeah...) so if anyone can recommend a way of doing it in VB6 that would be fine too.
Thanks :)
I actually fixed this by implementing a quick VB app based on the VB TTS app provided in the speech SDK - was very simple.
If anyone else has this problem I'd be happy to provide the source - but it's not on this computer right now so I'll get it later.

Any open source /free OCR(Pattern recognition) software? (for mobile platforms?)

I want to extract the text information (Chinese) from the images that picked by users with their mobiles. So I am here wondering is there any open source/free OCR (Pattern recognition) software for mobile platform. Currently I am doing with iPhone (And android, blackberry platform?)
I've searched stackoverflow but seems there only are some questions about C#/.Net
Thank you in advance~
If you're into writing your own solution, this paper seems to be applicable.
ABBYY even has a mobile OCR SDK for iPhone, Android, and more, so you can recognize text on your device before using web services, at all: http://www.abbyy.com/mobileocr/
However, it is not free and you will have to buy a license for commercial purposes.
GrayWizardx is right there are few servers that provide this kind of services like kooaba
And may be it will be a bad idea to re-invent the whole wheel
