The point of this service is to train their own OCR models for use in other products like Kindle / their e-book store. There doesn't really need to be a value add - if people use it it's a win for them... if people don't it's not really a big loss.

There might be a way for users to rate the quality of the result, or at least report it if it is very wrong.
