Writing an OCR from near scratch
Working on an OCR project.  Need some neural network tutorials/resources for a novice.I would like to learn how to Write a NN and how Neural networks work. would also like to hear of any other approaches instead of a NN . And I need an image library for c++ that runs on mingw under windows, something like Imagemagick for pixel manipulation.

Thanks.
