Well, if the sheet of paper/puzzle is aligned with the bottom of the =20

global domination and more sponduliks than Bill Gates has... ;-)

Hmmm.... The real problem is alignment and distortion. But if I got the user to mark the 4 corners, I might be able to undistort the image and do a decent OCR. But video resolution isn't all that stellar, it might not work all that well.

Of course, entering a puzzle by hand into the Susser is only a minute or so, so it may not be all that worth it.

If someone has some really good Video OCR routines out there, I could probably crowbar them in...
