* Download & Install EmguCV, the OpenCV wrapper libs for .NET, from here.
* Set a system-wide variable pointing to the EmguCV install dir, for example

``` EMGU_ROOT=C:\bin\Emgu```

You can do this via **System Preferences/Advanced Settings**

* Expand the variable *PATH*, which is in the same settings window, with

```%EMGU_ROOT%\bin\x64```

This entry is needed because the app will automatically search for **cvextern.dll** located in this directory.

* Open the solution file and start the app (Notice: *this is an x64 app*)
* Load one of the available images from the **Assets** folder (these are simple invoice documents)
* Click on Analyze and wait for the OCR-task to complete.
*Example* *There's a second app which is currently in development. No real OCR there, only a few tests with loading images and (de)serializing them.* *License* MIT
