Is there a way we can read the alphabets from an image, some kind of text recognition method using python.

What I have to do is, read some images to get the text written on them.

Please suggest.

    @Bolu: Right, because no one ever used OCR for any other reason. – FogleBird Oct 19 '10 at 13:08

See OCROPUS

EDIT:
Also after seeing the other question here (of which this question is a duplicate), pytesser is much simpler if your image only contains text and no noise (images/illustrations)
