[CODE4LIB] "best" OCR package?

[Alberto Accomazzi]

Sorry if this is a bit off-topic, but I was wondering if any of you 
clever fellows have a recommendation for an OCR package, possibly with a 
native linux port.  I know about OCRopus but I have a feeling that 
commercial products still have a significant edge over public domain 
packages.  So what are you using and/or do you know what the big guys 
(google, IA, microsoft) are using?

Thanks,
-- Alberto
