I would think so, for as good as Convenient OCR actually works.
Or, perhaps you could decode portions of bit mapped text, and control the 
behavior of a script based on it.  But, the time involved for the OCR thing 
to do it's job probably makes that unrealistic.
Hit a hot key and go to lunch.

Hmmm, Does this mean one could make OCR try to auto scroll through a
document and copy/append each portion of OCR  text to the clipboard? should
one desire to?
