There are tools available which will OCR selected text or tables to the clipboard, or OCR copied data, some using hotkeys. There are also PDF-to-text tools in some PDF readers as well as more conventional OCR tools with file output. The earlier ones I mentioned provide input to any app, meaning I do not have to worry about specific PDF import in other tools. Have a look around the applications sources relevant for your platform.

I like the ability to call external programs. This would make it easier to incorporate XSLT in my workflows.

Implementation of string functions like:
len(string) for determining string length
left(string, number) for returning the left “x number” of characters in the string
right(string, number) for returning the right “x number” of characters in the string
mid(string,starting point, number) for returning the “x number” of characters starting at position “starting point” in string
These would be VERY helpful in manipulating and/or cleaning up data.

You can use the length option from the calculate transform.
You can use the Extract transform. But number has to be a constant.

You can use a combination of Chop and Extract transform. But number has to be a constant.
The poll is now closed. Copy/paste in the winner and we will try to implement that as the next new feature. But we will bear the other votes in mind as well.
