That's really cool, thanks. But I don't think it includes OCR. The best FOSS OCR out there is Tesseract, which we use through DocumentCloud, but it still leaves a lot to be desired compared to commercial solutions.

What do you consider expensive? Transym is really good and not too expensive (disclosure: they are a partner of my company -- but I am endorsing them on that basis)

£60.00 doesn't sound bad. We'd need it to fit into our automated workflow and be able to handle hundreds of pages at a time, and occasionally 1k+ page documents, and stuff from Nuance we'd looked at would have cost $4k or more a year, plus charge per page which is a deal killer. This might be a good fit ... thanks!
