Not impressed. Shouldn't this be one of the basic features of OCR?

OCR is a broken promise from my experience. It either works ok or not at all. I also wonder what the image quality has to be for optimal use.

Exactly. If anything, this should be baked into desktop Excel and support any image source. I am not masochistic enough to put Excel in my iPhone, will definitely pass.
