Dane, I have to agree with Gordon here, I don't have this program but I think how it works is when you scan a document, it is initially sent to the cloud to be converted to text.

I have eyepal, which has since kind of become useless since nobody has come up with a version of X11 for Mavericks yet. Or not that I know of anyway
