So I have been trying open source OCR engines and they seem pretty
limited. I mean they all have pretty strict guidelines in order to get
good results. Forget about scanning real world photos taken outdoors.
I guess after 20 or so years OCR is still in its infancy and is only
produces solid results when fed B&W texts or similar specs.

Are there no advanced OCR engines that can recognize characters from
regular every day photos?

Try this image with OCR lol Fat chance.
