Tesseract 3 (OCR) - .NET Wrapper

http://code.google.com/p/tesseractdotnet/ I am having a problem getting Tesseract to work in my Visual Studio 2010 projects. I have tried console and winforms and both have the same outcome. I have come across a dll by someone else who claims to have it working in `VS2010`: http://code.google.com/p/tesseractdotnet/issues/detail?id=1 I am adding a reference to the dll which can be found in the attached to post 64 from the website above. Every time I build my project I get an `AccessViolationException` saying that an attempt was made to read or write protected memory. ``` public void StartOCR() { const string language = "eng"; const string TessractData = @"C:\Users\Joe\Desktop\tessdata\"; using (TesseractProcessor processor = new TesseractProcessor()) { using (Bitmap bmp = Bitmap.FromFile(fileName) as Bitmap) { if (processor.Init(TessractData, language, (int)eOcrEngineMode.OEM_DEFAULT)) { string text = processor.Recognize(bmp); } } } } ``` The access violation exception always points to `if (processor.Init(TessractData, language, (int)eOcrEngineMode.OEM_DEFAULT))`. I've seen a few suggestions to make sure the solution platform is set to `x86` in the configuration manager and that the tessdata folder location is finished with trailing slash, to no avail. Any ideas?
