• The current distributive of Mobile OCR Engine 4.0 is not supporting Windows Phone 7
• ABBYY was planning to add Windows Phone 7 support, but because of the fact that Microsoft is currently (?) not supporting native C++ code on the new operating system, it is not possible for ABBYY to provide the SDK.
• Windows Phone 7 can not be supported in the nearest future, because only Silverlight and XNA with C# code is possible.
• Never the less, please contact ABBYY Europe when you would like to be able to run OCR on Phone 7.
  Things can change

The OCR provided by ABBYY runs directly on the phone. Find out more:
