That's the general idea. Of course I don't have a big collection of
scanners or anything. At any rate it will be able to take what ever
you got open in preview and try and run OCR on it.

Will Preview command a scan from any scanner? ie can this be made
a one command operation where any document on a scanner will
automatically scan, go to preview, ocr and then go to text
edit? Vickie Weir

OK folks time to try out an idea on everyone.
What I'm thinking of is a program I'm going to call iOCR. This
program will take the front most document of Preview and run OCR
on it and then open the resulting text in TextEdit. I'm thinking
of using Googles open source OCR which I have working on a Mac. It
seems to do a good job and can deal with upside down pages.
This will likely be an Intel, Leopard only thing at first.
So useful or not?
