Hi,
There is little use in reinventing the wheel and implement ocr from scratch.

I think the best way is to use an existing software from fpc ,  for
example GOCR:
http://jocr.sourceforge.net/

GOCR is based on a  shared library,  which means that it shouldn't be
difficult to
call the functions from freepascal.
