+1 with support for tables so I could easily grab my work schedule and stick it on my server for my other lazy co-workers

lets not get to hasty here 
...dont know if there exist any OCR that can read tables, especially if we are talking open source. Though there is one open source software that could be of help here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesseract_(software)
In this case its just almost about making the GUI thats missing and of course JPG implementation.

I would imagine this should be possible this app is doing something similar and then taking it a step further,. i would assume.

so i was playing today and I compiled tesseract for n900. i also compiled ImageMagic so i could convert from jpg to tif for tesseract.
providing your picture is black text on white backround it seems to work pretty well.
i'm wondering how hard it would be to write a 'sharing' plugin for the photo manager, which will just call a script to process the image through convert and tesseract and spit out the text.
if i get the time I'll play more. might be cool if someone with a setup for packaging would consider uploading tesseract and magemagic to extras-devel....

If Witter isn't working for you, eg crashes/doesn't start, gives errors etc etc. Please run it from x-term using:
run-standalone.sh python2.5 /opt/witter/witter.py
This will generate diagnostic output. Without this I cannot help you.

I also use unpaper when automatically processing scans on server.
it is a small program but helps a good bit with tesseract ocr
i tie together some imagemagick->unpaper->tesseract with pretty great results and insert the raw text output into db as metadata for searching docs on our server.
works pretty well.

Sadly unpaper compiles fine, but segfaults when run under the ARMEL target. appears to be fine under the X86 target. I think I'm probably at the limits of my understanding to attempt to figure out what it doesn't like.
Anyone that understands C what to take a look?

i would like to see OCR support on N900. I used it alot on my SE P1i. Be able to take a picture on a business card or to grab an article or recipe, time table, pricelist and convert it to text is just so powerful and usable!
what do you say?
