I've been waiting for an OCR on a mobile device for years! My first exposure to it was when PC/AT with 80286 CPUs running at 16 MHz were all the rage and I found it strange that it had all but disappeared from the surface of the earth.

Now finally my waiting is over! Thank you!

Of course, I played with it a bit and must say the results are pretty good. There are a few cases when a glare etc can cause some distortion and spoil the result but that is kinda expected. My favourite was trying to render a shot taken from the computer screen. This is what I got from the shot covering the second and third post in this thread:

Of course, this is not a fair test but I still found it somewhat entertaining

If I may have a feature request, I would like to see rendering of some common programming languages. Particularly C and C++. Most of them look like English so it should not be a big problem.
