Interesting, that doesn't really work for me as I sometimes use it to OCR sensitive stuff from scanned documents, and it wouldn't work offline. I found tesseract to work pretty reliably for my use and only fail when scanning non-ASCII characters.

Yeah, I only use it for things where the context wouldn't matter. For example grabbing an account number from a document.

I've been experimenting w/ CoreImage detectors (mainly for categorisation of scanned documents based on QR codes).

When I clean things up today, I'll see what can be used.
