Awesome! This could be extremely useful, especially if the OCR software can be made more accurate! Shame there's no linux version though (doesn't work in wine when I tried it) =(
*edit*
If there are any linux users out there who want something like this, I put together a quick python script to get something similar to work. I tied it to a hotkey in my window manager, works reasonably well...

You need to have nhocr for the ocr, xsel for the clipboard, scrot to select an area on the screen, and imagemagick to convert the image from scrot.
