It's an incredibly fun and convenient feature and I'm hoping more sites will start to include these barcodes.

I'd like to see it applied to multilingual tools. I want an OCR app like this that just runs it through Google Language Tools translate. Also, overlaying links to dictionary sites for each word would be nice. I'm thinking something similar to what the Firefox plugin Rikaichan does for Japanese, but for print, and general to more languages.

I could see it being useful in some instances, but I'd rather skim the document, find the main topic and just search myself with a few clicks instead of having to take a picture, wait for their servers to OCR it and then search. Cool idea however! Looks like a simple OCR type server based application if I’m not mistaken?
