Hi! You mentioned Evernote in some of the Air Print compatible apps for Iphone/ipad, have you ever used this? I used Evernote ever so briefly on the Mac platform and it was one of those projects I must continue to investigate, if you get an Evernote Pro account OCR can be performed on images you upload thus turning the images into text files or notes, I'd have to read the whole Evernote thing again as OCR is just one of the many features that this service provides apart from the obvious, keeping track of your notes, saving web pages for your convenience and so on.
