The Winsoft OCR at http://www.winsoft.sk/ocr.htm is a combination of
Tesseract and Leptonica. It didn't work well at all. I think the
problem is how to tell the OCR engine that it is reading the E13B
MICR font, so it does not try to interpret the text as letters or
punctuation, only as MICR digits and separators. There doesn't seem
to be a way to do that with Tesseract.

You can also try Tesseract OCR. When we tested it, it worked really well.
You will have to import the DLLs and probably work with it a bit but it is
open source and solid.
