19th Century Russian Translation Help

[David Powelstock]

Let me second the recommendation of FineReader. It's a terrific OCR program, with excellent language resources. I believe it was originally designed by Russians, so the Russian/Slavic support is especially good.
Cheers,
David

With ABBYY Finereader you can use modern Russian orthography and 
then "teach" the program to recognize the pre-revolutionary letters. I 
used this for scanning Old Russian texts into Word format. I don't know if 
this will work for your project, but it may.

Best,
