Subject:Needs OCR for Arabic transcription

I have had trouble finding an optical character recognition program
which will be able to convert scanned text in transcribed Egyptian
Arabic into a word document or rich text formate file, since the
"regular" ocr program can not recognize the special latin characters
used for "sad","9ain" etc. as letters. Can you recommend an ocr program
which works with the latin transcription alphabet for Arabic?

Thank you very much,
H. Schaufelberger.
