I am building some tools to extract text data from screenshots, which is a 
simple (easy) case of OCR.  (It is part of a platform for automated testing 
of software, the tester interacts with UI elements and we want to be able 
to read things like the text on UI buttons and any error messages, etc.)

I have done some searching and it seems a combination of OpenCV and 
Tesseract is a common configuration for OCR.

My questions are:

1. Given that my use case is simple, is tesseract appropriate for this or 
there a simpler tool that can effectively solve this problem?

2. How can I compile the library in Visual Studio, in Windows?  I have seen 
some people mention this build, is it up to date?

Many Thanks,
David
