The Debian database lists two OCR packages:

         gocr (actually, about seven related packages), which from the 
description sounds
                 like an early-stage, limited project
         clara, which is described as "intended for large scale digitalization
                 projects. It features a powerful GUI and a web interface
                 for cooperative digitalization of books."

No personal experience with either, though. In any case, "comparable" is in 
the eye of the beholder, at least past some threshhold of performance.

If you are a Debian user, the usual apt-* commands will get you the 
relevant packages. If you use a different distro, I suppose you either look 
in its database or track down the originating sites in the usual ways.
