I have a requirement to recognize an Arabic name in Arabic text in Java or in .Net or any other language. Well I googled on dotnet (Nuance) and in Java (Aspose). Both the things are good in reviews, but nuance is not providing trials for my R and D. Aspose not supporting for Arabic. So my question is do we have any open sources for Arabic or any commercial products with at least a three days trial which converts Arabic image to text.

SAKHR has a commercial offering --I believe a Lib; standalone app; and a web app! Google sakhr for their website! Hopefully, Google through their support for OCRopus will include arabization in future development.

ABBYY OCR engine supports arabic text recognition and it provides api for java, vb.net, c#, etc. It's free to try, trial version can be requested here. I work @ ABBYY and can provide you some more details on our engines if necessary.

Alternatively, you may want to have a look at http://ocrsdk.com, it's a website that lets you upload images through web API and sends you back OCRed data. It has a 90 days free trial without any upfront charges and supports arabic ocr as well.
