@I have been using Finereader 7.0 Professional, PC version, for some
time.  It rarely makes a mistake on good text, and does well even on most
not-so-good text.  Its only weakness is that it does not usually recognize
accented Cyrillic letters, which is quite inconvenient for working with
pedagogical materials.  I have found that by including Czech as one of the
recognition languages, along with English and Russian (Or Bulgarian, which
it also does flawlessly), one may get the letters a, e, i, o, u, y with
acute accent, but not with grave, and no accented hard sign in Bulgarian or
accented r(p) in BCS or Slovenian.  It's an amazingly good program.
