I think Google could do something similar to what they did to Voice recognition in Jelly Bean. They managed to make 80% of their voice engine work offline. If they can do that with voice, I think they can do that with their dictionaries.

This feature uploads images to Google to do the OCR. That's the biggest problem here.
