Re: O-sensei rules

Lion OSX lets one highlight a Kanji or Kanji compound and it looks it up lickety split and provides a pretty good (way better than nothing) dictionary, all without having to use an additional program. Too bad it doesn't work on PDFs.

Does anyone know of a good OCR that will convert PDFs? I used to have one for my PC in the 90's (I wasn't quite so lazy in the '90s) and it worked pretty well. Here we are, finishing up 2011. Certainly there must exist something much better by now.

If anyone knows of a converter of PDF or OCR that does Japanese and works on Lion OSX, I'd love to hear about it!

Thanks,
Allen
