One cannot really deny the fact that Google is constantly working on new features for their popular online services like Gmail or Google Docs. The latest feature is currently available as a demonstration only and not yet integrated into Google Docs. The Google Docs OCR demonstration can OCR the three image formats jpg, png and gif. Google lists the following limitations that are currently in place:
- Files must be fairly high-resolution — rule of thumb is 10 pixel character height.
- Maximum file size: 10MB, maximum resolution: 25 mega pixel
- The larger the file, the longer the OCR operation will take (500K: ~15s, 2MB: ~40s, 10MB: forever)
