How can I develop my own unique OCR software?

I wish to know the process of developing OCR software to the end that I discover what it will take for me to develop my own unique OCR software that will recognise the characters(not letters) that I wish it to recognise.

    You need to have knowledge about neural networks programming, If you knows about it you would be able to write your unique OCR with no problem, and if not, don’t worry, you can learn it, just go to the http://www.codeproject.com/ and search for OCR, “Text Recognition”, “Neural Network” and etc… You’ll find very very cool source codes.
    You’ll need to sign up a user account for downloading complete source code at ‘code project’, but don’t mind, No trial, no charge, It’s free.
    3 months ago I was at your position, I did not have any idea about how to write my own OCR application but now, At least I’m able to to write OCR in English language, still having problems for my mother tongue (Persian), of course it’s because of persian’s characters continuity.

    By virtue of asking this question, you demonstrate you lack the programming skill necessary to accomplish this goal.

    Additionally, there’s no need to reinvent the wheel. If the software you are using now for OCR does not work properly, simply use a better program. Most modern OCR programs allow you to train the software to recognize characters within a given typeface family / handwriting sample.
