Abbyy Finereader and Nuance Omnipage are the two leading commercial OCR

I'm with Christian - I loved Abbyy FineReader when I used it at both
my previous libraries. It's very accurate and it's affordable if
you're not using it for mass digitization :) but we never got the
server contract because like Christian said - it is quite expensive.
