Can I ask why OCR, other than to learn something new. From a functionality standpoint you’ve hit the nail on the head. Some suggestions in this thread however start to take away from the appeal of the site. I suspect the target audience will much rather type out the dozen numbers/chars than they will attempt to mess around with taking a picture and having OCR take over. I’d be willing to bet the time to enter data is comparable and if there are any savings to be had from OCR (doubtful) it would be measured in seconds at best. Identify the audience and build the product for it. A tech savvy audience (HN) would love to see OCR because we have nothing better to do than look for “latest cool gadgets”.
