Does anyone know what Evernote [http://www.evernote.com/about/home.php] 
uses as their back-end image recognition engine?  There are a lot of 
testimonials out there which claim that Evernote can capture the text 
from pictures of white-boards and napkins.  I'm sure that mileage will 
vary but might be worth checking out.  You can get at their web-services 
(including the text extracted from images) by applying for a developers 
key [http://www.evernote.com/about/developer/api/] and worse case the 
cost is $5/month or $45/year for premium uploads (500MB/month).
