OK folks time to try out an idea on everyone.
What I'm thinking of is a program I'm going to call iOCR. This program
will take the front most document of Preview and run OCR on it and
then open the resulting text in TextEdit. I'm thinking of using
Googles open source OCR which I have working on a Mac. It seems to do
a good job and can deal with upside down pages.
This will likely be an Intel, Leopard only thing at first.
So useful or not?
