What is an OCR ?
Optical character recognition, usually abbreviated to OCR, is the mechanical or electronic translation of images of handwritten, typewritten or printed text (usually captured by a scanner) into machine-editable text. It is used to convert paper books and documents into electronic files, for instance, to computerize an old record-keeping system in an office, or to serve on a website such as Project Gutenberg

They make some pretty cool iPhone and Android apps that utilize this technology, you can just take a picture of a document, whiteboard, etc and it can convert the picture to a well structured Microsoft Word document/rich text file/etc.
