Identifying characters from Image (OCR)

Hi,

I suppose to identify characters from given image(OCR).Should I train neural network for this?

I hope to use letters as templates and when these templates match character will be identified.Is this a good approach?

Can anyone suggest me a good approach regarding this?

Sounds like an approach that could work...

There are hundreds (thousands?) of OCR methods out there, they're not trivial, and they're very difficult to generalized. Pick one that you think you can handle, read about it and ask specific MATLAB related questions here.

As a whole, template matching algorithms are easier than other options and should help you at least getting started.
