Ive used this app to OCR several documents, including a book that I scanned and converted to epub. I think the interface is very reasonable. It takes a long time to do a big job, but thats unavoidable. I suppose Id like to see more work on things like dealing with hyphens across page boundaries and so on, and generally with connecting up blocks of text in a sequence that takes into account sentence-level puncuation in general. Ive used it in both English and French, and it seems to work well in both. The other thing Id like to see is some kind of flag or marker when a very unusual word or unusual sequence has been recognized (including punctuation), so that they can be dealt with systematically.
All in all, good job.
