Re: [appengine-java] OCR on Google App Engine

Is the interface of OCRWebService.com SOAP over HTTP? You should be able to
use URLFetch.

 Hi,

 the best option to utilize a web service?  I was able to find
 OCRWebService.com, but that only has a SOAP interface and not REST.  I
 found OCR Terminal (http://www.ocrterminal.com/partnerships/api.cgi),
 but I'm unable to find any specifics on how it works.  I have tried to
 use Google Docs, but the OCR engine there was unable to read any of my
 images.  Finally, I was able to get Asprise working locally, but it is
 only distributed in native libraries (plus it is very expensive).

 Has anyone had success with this?
 thanks!
