Hi yan,
I have posting the image and getting the correct values from
http://api.ocrapiservice.com/1.0/rest/ocr working in liveCode.
The trouble is this isn't a beginners task. Do you know about things like httpHeaders?
I'll tell you one thing I found that was very helpful was this tool;
http://www.telerik.com/fiddler
Using that and Test Drive you can find out what ocrapiservice is looking for in a POST.
