Google Docs added to Android apps
Share:
Once on your screen, you can edit documents while on the go and share them straight from your Android handset. And with the app and the camera on your phone, photos with text can be turned into an editable Google document using optical character recognition. Create new documents from just snapped pictures and old shots from your gallery can be converted by sharing them with the app. Google's own blog notes that there are some limitations such as the inability of the app to read handwritten text or some fonts. But the Mountain View company did say to "stay tuned-things will get better over time."

That's nice, I've been using a 3rd party app, rather trust my apps to google.

It's stuck in an endless loop when I try to open stuff with it but I imagine this will be fixed quickly.

Just tested it by taking a picture of this article on my EVO with CM7 N57.

Judge for yourself, but not ready for real world use yet. I'm guessing they'll probably try to implement a spell check on it.

I'd say its about time, but probably isnt ready for primetime yet.
Would also be nice to see OpenOffice make the jump, that's my personal fave. Well, Microsoft Office is really, but I dont want to pay for that.

Oh I see what happened, there's a space between the link.
Sorry.

Okay, it's automatically putting a space there so you're going to have to copy that whole link and remove the space in "aut hkey". The key is getting cut off.

Thanks I see is quite accurate on some parts but fails on other, but thats pretty good for a picture snapped, and it will get better with time :D are they allowing feedback on the feature?
