OCR - greek and slavic accents and superscript characters

[Ruprecht von Waldenfels]

Dear Philologists,

Here at the university of Regensburg we have lately scanned and
recognized some texts in Old Church Slavonic; we are working on a
diachronic corpus of the slavonic languages. Now, we additionally need
to scan some ancient Greek texts.

The problem with OCR of both Old Church Slavonic and Ancient Greek
seems to be the recognition of the accents / superscript characters,
at least with FineReader, which we've been working with.

Can anybody help us with advice? Is there better software for this
available? Has anybody trained patterns for Ancient Greek / Old Church Slavonic we
could reuse? What about full-form dictionaries? What other resources
are there on the web?

We're surely not the first to encounter the problem and would be
extremely grateful to others who could share their experience with us.

I could also post a summary if there are enough responses.

Thanks very much,
