[blindLaw] Batch OCR

[David Andrews]

There are such apps out there. They tend to be oriented to 
high-volume businesses like banks, and utility companies that send 
out a lot of documents. There may be programs that have this 
capability, on a more individual basis, you will just have to google and see.
