OCRopus is not designed for recognizing text in photographic images. Some of OCRopus's algorithms may be useful for that, but it requires additional modules for text/image segmentation, binarization, and dewarping that are not part of OCRopus (at least not yet). My research group has developed some other text-in-image recognizers, but they haven't been released. > Also, if possible I would like to run the ocr software on a mobile > device running WinMobile for example.

We're implementing some mobile OCR, but we just send the images to the server (that's also a lot nicer on the battery of the mobile device).
