Description Axel Krebs 2013-03-16 18:59:48 UTC 
For quick documentation, it is much faster to shoot a foto than to use an optical scanner. If digiKam  provides such an imnjterface, one could easily take the shot,  and run text recognition within image manipulating.

Regarding the total workflow, this should be even faster than starting GIMP with OCR capabilities or so.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
it is not provided

Expected Results:  
would be an simple add-on capbility improving over-all workflow

Face recognition is not text recognition...

This is not a goal to do in digiKam
