[nfbcs] Ocr for Mac

[Greg Kearney]

Not at the moment but if you need things like that I would urge you to contact the developer I have found him very responsive. I mean he added Cherokee for me after all.

HE has started doing a number of improvements to make Tessa able to act as a sort of reading system with a one button scan and read for example.

In the end Tessa is designed to capture text not formatting and such and it does its function very well.
