Hi folks! I Hope everybody is alright!

I have doubts in which programing language do I have to use to create a "world reader". A classic example is the license plate/license number reader.

I appreciate if some friend could help me.

Thank you.
Cheers,
Fernando
 
Python would be my recommendation, especially if you are new to programming.

This video should help you get started:

 
Hey.. I'm from IT background but if you want something different then I think you should go forvcloud computing. Other hand you can start with some basic languages like pythan, java and any sql..
 
Well it depends. Even PHP (google php captcha breaker.. pretty much the same concept) is capable of doing the job. The key here are two things..

1) What language you are comfortable with..
2) What language already has most of the stuffs done for you.

As others have mentioned, python already has similar libraries that you can download and use... E.g. pyocr (although it's just a wrapper.. it's pretty popular these days).

No it's not capable of doing the job, without a lot of messing about. Python has some of the best supported deep learning libraries. I also recommended java because it runs faster on the CPU, however although I prefer java I'm willing to admit tensorflow is more developed. Captcha breaking and reading license plates is not comparable. They are not just both OCR tasks. A lot of captchas are much more uniform and classic OCR techniques are reliable enough. Reading real world images post 2012 is best done with CNNs on a GPU. Any other way of doing it is probably going to mostly waste your time reinventing the amazing work researchers have done in this domain and implemented in libraries like tensorflow.

Exactly... That is why I mentioned about python too. Technically speaking, I see no reasons why it can't be done with PHP. The problem will be the libraries, but it can be done for sure..
 
Hello friends!
Thank you so much for all tips, links and opinion. I'm going to use python, for instance.
I will come back to write about it soon.
Cheers!
Fernando
