Google Docs' OCR Quality Tested

Posted by timothy on from the weighed-in-the-balance-and-found-wanting dept.

orenh writes "Google has released a Google Docs application for Android, which includes the ability to create documents by OCR-ing photos. I tested the application's OCR quality and found that it's mediocre under the best conditions and poor under real-world conditions. However, I believe that this poor performance is caused in part by an intentional decision by Google."
