Welcome to the professional business world... where people still have their secretaries print out emails, so they can xerox them and hand them out at meetings. (Yes, I've met many of these. )

I think it would be a great idea to have any device handy that could quickly scan and OCR printed text. If it were mounted opposite the screen, you could possibly watch (and provide live corrections) as the camera and software did the OCR.

Better be careful about who you embarrass by converting their stuff to digital in front of them...
