OCR integration in ODK to extract text data from image

OCR accuracy is very hard to do, but it is possible. Let's move this thread to Features so it can be further discussed.

ODK Scan was an attempt to do exactly this on the mobile side.

Captricity is another solution that folks have used

Two questions to get the discussion started:

  1. Can you tell us more about the high-level problem you are trying to solve or share a user-scenario or story about this feature?
  2. Would something like ODK Scan or Captricity solve your problem? If not, what features are they lacking?
