Very interesting indeed. I will take everything matt is saying with a grain of salt; he obviously knows more about the Google algorithm than any of us, but I have found at least one fact written on his blog which has proven as incorrect according to my tests.

@annkur speculations are not a bad thing. Google keeps things in the dark intentionally and it is not always clear to what use they put all their abilities. OnlyGizmos article (and all the others i linked to) shows that Google does OCR, however it is not clear whether they use it to index and rank images in the Google images SERPs. Matt says they don’t. That is all i wrote.

You have linked to a post from OnlyGizmos as speculation. I just want to clarify that the article actually shows how you can use Google to read the text in editable format from scanned documents.
