User your digicam as scanner and OCR

prizmo

Prizmo is an application that allows you to extract the photos and text from your digital pictures. It's highly useful if you want to document an exhibition or make a quick copy of many pages from a book.

You can achieve the same results with a scanner, Photoshop and an OCR application if you have the skills, but Prizmo provides speed, simplicity and a better experience.

Nothing beats a Fuji ScanSnap for speed and ease of use.

Still, this app may come in handy if you're without a scanner.

OCR does not work on any platform!
