The other approach is to use a phone with bluetooth, if you have/know someone who has a bluetooth scanner. I haven't tried this myself, but noticed yesterday when my phone was on, that it offered to pair with a scanner. If you have something like Thinkfree Office or even a text document, it should

Actually, I'd be concerned using Google - it will block mechanised queries, and block "legitimate", human queries until the automated queries are shutdown. I'd expect any API worth it's salt would indicate how many queries per it will reasonably handle. Tom On Fri, Jun 18, 2010 at 3:23 AM, Kyle
