Here's the result of the OCR for this scanned document: The results are far from perfect and you'll find many errors, but the service is free and it's constantly improving. Google mentions that "the operation can currently take up to 40 seconds" and a small test showed that the service is not yet reliable: it's slow and it frequently returns errors. There's a live demo that illustrates this feature: you can upload a high-resolution JPG, GIF, or PNG image that has less than 10 MB and Google Docs extracts the text and converts it into a new document. Google Docs API tests a new feature that lets you perform OCR (optical character recognition) on an image.
