I think it must be local -- there's a (not yet functional) 'Download Snapter Trial' link on the
More Info page.
I took pix of a short booklet (~60 pages out of a ~150 pages in the booklet) for my wife when she had to return it to the library before she was finished with the source (it was really old, so photocopying wasn't a good option). That was a real pain to do. I'm not sure how well I'd do with snapping an entire novel ....
I s'pose I could try the free trial on those pix and see what it gives me. Assuming she still has them, of course.
It should be noted that this does
not appear to include OCR software:

With OCR software, you can turn all of the books that you have into your own huge personal digital library. And now whenever you have an open book exam or are thinking of some words you don’t know just “search” for that with any desktop search program.
