I just read a review on linux.com about a new open source OCR engine for
Linux.  Well, it's not exactly new, but it has recently been open
sourced by none other than Google, HP and UNLV.  According to the
review, it's about 97.74% accurate, although it only recognizes tif files
and doesn't yet correctly understand page layouts with more than 1
column.  However these are planned features in future releases.  This
app is called tesseract, and can be found at

http://sourceforge.net/projects/tesseract

HTH somebody,
Lorenzo
