Thanks for the info and the Readiris info. For Windows, Abbyy Screenshot Reader is an incredible program, usually about $15, maybe up to $30 if there is no sale, but that is a one-time expense for many years, they have never pulled an upgrade game afaik. And I have been using it for years on google book extracts and similar things. Includes lots of language support. Unobstrusive little box on the edge of the screen (I use a program to keep an edge free, right now MaxMax, but it is sort of dormant, there are others) or activate it from here or there. And it works excellently on doing a pic paste into evernote or getting the ocr from a paste that is in Evernote. Thus, I use the same program for taking the pic of a region (webclipper if you will) or for making an OCR from a pic that is from anywhere. Note: It will not give you that kewl toggle of text and pic in the same box, if that is important. Granted, the toggle feature, wherever it is actually available, has an aesthetic advantage over having both the pic and the text, but often you simply do not need both anyway, after you extract the text you can say bye-bye to the pic, or keep only the url if it is from the web. Just a FYI. This is a case where the external dedicated tool may actually be better, or as good as, an internal application. Steven
