finding objects in an image

I am trying to make an OCR program. The text I'm trying to OCR isn't in lines. Each character is in a random place in the image. I have the OCR part working, but I am having trouble locating the characters in the image. How can I quickly separate each character in the image?

Would this image be a Captcha image, by any chance?

Use thinning. Each character will be reduced to a dot.

Use thinning. Each character will be reduced to a dot. If this is performed on a copy of the original image each dot will mark a character on the original.
