The font's make a very big difference. We were using OCR in the navy around 82.
Only way we could get the best results was the OCR font.

I don't think there's such a thing as 100% accurate OCR; that's one of the caveats that need to be made known to people who get enthusiastic about document management systems. (Sadly, it's too late in my case; they already bought one, and I, no doubt, will be expected to compensate for its failings at some point down the line.) However, I have gotten pretty good results with good old Capture Perfect, the bundleware that comes with high-end Canon scanners. The results can be improved by increasing the scan resolution (with a sacrifice in ppm, of course). Also, the stuff made for blind people, such as OpenBook, works quite well for most things. Nothing is going to do a good job with handwriting though.
