I encountered my first Facsimile edition in my Logos library.

I'd like to be able to copy text from such books. I have ABBYY Screenshot Reader on my PC, so I can use that, but Logos ought to build in an OCR feature akin to that, where you can select a rectangle of text in a Facsimile edition, and have it send an OCR'ed version of that text to the clipboard. It would need to be able to work in multiple languages.

I've posted a suggestion for that on Feedbear.
