OCR

[Mike Bonner]

I haven't.  I've used an extension in the past that I believe was driven by
google ocr (in chrome) and it worked well. The nice thing is the google
platform is a rest api, with google computing power behind it.  Not sure
how easy it would be to integrate into livecode but hey.. Its rest.  The
biggest limitation ( in my eyes) would be connection speed to move image
data around.
