API for Character Recognition

Are there any in Built Java API for Character Recognition in an Application form ?

What you mean by Character Recognition? Can you explain it bit more.

I mean once an image is submitted to the system it should extract details from it. So are there any inbuilt APIs to full fill this task..

What kind of details, image header?

You are a Sri Lankan na.. So u must know about the Upahara Sim Card Application form..

My system needs to extract details in the application form and display in the text boxes including his photo. If u want to see the format i can mail u since i cant still submit links. Application consists words in all English, Tamil and Sinhala letters but my scope is only limited to English. Which mean applicant files the form in English Block letters. So that i have to recognize handwritten capital block letters which are written in cages.

This is for my Final Year Project.. Pls guide me...

You could seperate each letter and check how the pixels of the letters are placed and use an algorithm to find the correct letter.
