Have you even tried it? I did, once, with my 3.0 MP mobile phone's camera. It's an old Samsung model manufactured in 2007 or so. OCR-ing went fine.

Which brand and model and how many megapixels did it have? Just curios.

PS: For those who don't know what "OCR" is, it stands for Optical Character Recognition, basically what OmniPage and ABBYY FineReader can do. Meaning it can "read" and extract text from an image.
