[macvoiceover] Re: iOCR an idea

Let's say you have five documents open in Preview and you run this script. The action will be taken on the front most (top) document window in preview.

Subject: [macvoiceover] iOCR an idea



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?
