You might want to look at ABBYY Fine Reader 9.0 Professional, which can be

If you haven't already, take a look at tesseract (

which isn't exactly what you're wanting to do, I know, but may prove helpful
This is somewhat off-topic, since you asked for something you can use

I've been using OmniPage 16, and I'm sorry to say I can't recommend
it. You can't run it from the command line, so you can't really
integrate it into a script. It does have a batch manager, so you can
