i haven't seen one working well in ages. in fact this plugin was always unstable if i recall correctly.

A comment on the idea "Why is there no "copy this text" (OCR) for images/snapshots?" in Evernote:

they explained the reason on one of their podcasts namely that it is not a true OCR service but instead assigns multiple possible interpretations for each. example: car could be interpreted as 'car' or 'ear' so both words would come out in a search. its a kind of fuzzy logic for word recognition as opposed to OCR that will assign one interpretation, right or wrong. its therefore useful for search mainly. – pendolino, on October 22, 2009 20:22

thanks to ergolad's comment above, we have a solution!

here's the link to truepreview -> http://christianserving.org/project/t...

i just tried it and its quite impressive on first use. most importantly, it works!

i have not tried mail act-on but i dont think i need the functionality at the moment plus truepreview is more versatile with the unread marking specifically.

Can I delete unplayed synced podcast from iPhone directly?

i think i've noticed this problem specifically with podcasts that are marked 'unplayed' or 'partially played' on the iphone whereby even if you manually delete them from the phone they will still stay in itunes on your mac and hence be synced back onto the phone until you actually listen or scroll completely through the podcast on the iphone (or ipod?) whereby they will be deleted.

i've been looking for ways to change this behavior but have so far been unsuccessful in doing so. if anyone has any ideas let us know.

i often want to delete podcasts on the iphone that i am not interested in listening to.
