I'm confused. What are you OCR'ing that requires a solution like this? What images are you processing?

My guess is that he wanted to use that Apple OCR framework and that iPhone was whatever he had handy. I went to his blog's homepage hoping to find some article as to what he's processing, but I didn't find anything. Is he scanning all of his novels?
