Abbyy Finereader and Nuance Omnipage are the two leading commercial OCR products. Both can achieve 98% + character accuracy on most book-like material scanned at 300 dpi.
I know that 98% is impressive, but I always like to remember that with an average of 2000 characters per page that means 40 potential errors per book page. Just to give us some perspective on the level of cleanup that will be needed for books being digitized today.
