Any Fix For Samsung Downgrading Smart Select in 6.0.1?

Hey everyone,

Is there any way to get smart select features from LL back on MM?

Basically, in 6.0.1, Smart Select was crippled for whatever reason. You can no longer extract text from images, using Optical Text Recognition (OCR). For example, on 5.1.1, if you had a screen shot (an image file) with text in it, you could use smart select, and it would identify and convert the characters from the image into text format.

You can no longer do this on 6.0.1, it has been crippled. You can still "extract" text from some areas, however only those where you would be able to normally copy/paste the text anyway. A great feature, butchered and made useless, it is nothing more than a screenshot taker now. You can't even select multiple things without adding to scrapbook. Absolutely ridiculous.

Is there any way to fix this? I find it ridiculous that I have to choose between a crippled S-Pen or the benefits of MM.
