I haven't used it myself, but you might find http://projectnaptha.com/ interesting — it's in-browser OCR of text in images.
I used the Chrome extension for a few months and the OCR was never very accurate. Even giant, clear block letters were often not recognized.
It always worked pretty well for me. It just got annoying to have on all the time.
