Free Online OCR Service

I recently read  a post on Lifehacker about a newly launched Free Online OCR Service called succinctly Online OCR.  I was a bit skeptical. The service claims to:

Recognize text and characters from scanned documents (including multipage files), photographs and digital camera captured images. Service includes Zonal OCR for recognition specifically zoned text from a scanned image.

Receive OCRed text or converted file and integrate directly into your web site or executable program.

Convert OCR results directly to your favorite formats including Adobe PDF, Microsoft Word,

I tried out the service myself and was very pleased with the results. I signed up for an account so that I could use the full features. It is so new I was able to sign in with my first name as username. The FREE service only scans to text and therefore does not retain formatting. I scanned a document with both graphics and text. It was fast, easy and had remarkable results. With an account it is not entirely free for all of the features. After recieving 5 free credits (1 credit counts for 1 page) you can buy credits for bundles of pages:

You may earn more free credits in their Bonus Program by

• Linking to their service  on some well-visited website, forum or blog = 5 credits. Please no Warez or adult sites or the like.
  

• Writing an article or blog post about the service = 20 credits
• Create a tutorial video about using the service and place on some well-visited website = 30 credits.
• Purchasing greater amounts of credits.If you purchase 400 credits =  plus 40 credits.

I  scan documents  very infrequently, mostly for graphic applications but Online OCR comes in handy  for those moments when I need quick and efficient translation from a pdf or scanned form without changing the settings on my scanner. What do you think?
