Layout analysis and italics are there.

For accented characters, we just spend basically the last year doing
what's necessary to support Unicode; this prompted the move to
Python.  We're slowly getting the bugs out and will basically be
releasing once that works.

Language modeling like what you need is already fully supported
through the use of OpenFST language models; you can create weighted
combinations of, say, a dictionary and a syllabic model.
