Evernote's main feature when first announced was very good handwriting recognition. You could just snap a picture of a board or note pad and have searchable text in the cloud.

There's some kind of cluster of OCR expertise in the Russian computer science community given ABBYY Finereader as best-in-class printed OCR and Evernote as best handwriting OCR.

Tesseract (used correctly with some pre-processing) can compete with ABBY
