Well, I had to get a Linux machine setup to get it compiled. I'm not a Linux guru, so that's probably what was the most difficult thing. But I know a little C++. I'm just using the CLI app after I got it compiled. I wrote a small Python script that listens to web requests and then calls the command line to analyze the plate image. You can download it from GitHub https://github.com/openalpr/openalpr You need "git" installed to download it. I'm not sure if it will run on Windows... I haven't tried it.

Check out OpenALPR (http://www.openalpr.com). It's an open source library, and it recognizes license plates/number plates from images.

Check out http://www.openalpr.com/demo.html This is free and open source. The library was a little tricky to compile but it is fast and very accurate.
