A particularly compelling use case beyond regular web apps would be as a browser add-on for running OCR against images encountered on the web and placing the OCR'd results in a dialog, in-place on the web page, etc..

In my Firefox add-on for decoding QR codes, I already have infrastructure in place which could largely be reused to allow OCR against images found while browsing the web, whether as a regular image, as a frame in a video, as a background image, SVG element, canvas, or, probably PDF too, given that ImageMagick has already been ported.

In short: there's too much involved, so don't hold your breath.
