[NEED HELP]Creating a java based OCR,need an expert guidance

hi,
I am coding a java based OCR from last two months.I have given it some basic functionality like segmenting the image, recognizing the character by comparing form the database and giving the result.

however its not much progress but atleast there is something.But,now I have struck at some points and want some expert guidance to walk through it.I love coding and can code anything if you can guide me.


About my knowledge of java: more than a fresher but a bit less than an experienced.

BHW is full of experienced people and if someone can come forward and can provide a helping hand,i will be thankful to him/her.If someone can help me you can contact anyway you like(replying here,pm or adding me on skype)

my skype id is p4w4n08

thanks

Hey mate, left you a skype contact request (my username is lisssper). Cheers

OCR is not a trivial problem to solve, I suggest you look through some of the existing open-source OCR libs if you are looking for somewhere to start.

hi,
thanks for your response,but i am not at the starting stage.My OCR is already working but its very simple.We inputs a binarized image,it segments and recognize the characters.I am looking forward to take it to the next level by adding more functionality like converting an image to binary,filtering,ribboning,saperating the attached characters to correctly recognize them,etc.
I saw the video presentation by chad in which he explained re captcha decoding and got few ideas.It will be better if someone experienced in this field can guide me.

And i don't want to use open source APIs,but i want to create the whole software by my own concepts.
thanks
