OCR for scanning quote texts

Registered by Prunus dulcis

Use OCR software for automatically recognizing text so it can be imported as quotes.
Possible software with compatible BSD license (as far as I understand):
http://www.roncemer.com/software-development/java-ocr

Users would need to make pictures (either with cam or screenshots [of pdf for example]) and then be able to mark the interesting lines - these would be ocr scanned to recognize the text and the text be imported.

Needs:
- Image cutting (or some sort of whitening that only the text to be recognized is still there)
- Mass import of pictures

The source image should be imported as file as well, to later catch and correct recognition errors.
