Yeah, I got a serious education doing this for mail items. And I had it easier as I was able to control the background and lighting and camera and everything.
Well, I couldn't control the autofocus very well, going from a $500 DSLR to a $1200 DSLR made HUGE gains since it'd have far, far more autofocus points.
I was really interested in the text output of the OCR that I later did (which was a treat in itself since mail has so many different fonts, even on the same item!). I learned a lot about a lot of things too.
