I noticed the OCR is now "ABBYY FineReader 11"; IA only recently

If I see correctly, 11 claims:
New and improved language support
New OCR languages: Turkmen (Latin) and Old Slavonic
New ICR languages: Danish, Norwegian (Bokmal & Nynorsk), Old
English, Serbian (Cyrillic), Tajik
Latin language has full dictionary support
Improved OCR for Chinese, Japanese & Korean
10 claims:
Improved Language Support
Chinese
Korean
Japanese
It seems IA technology is evolving rather fast:
