On the subject of freely available OCR software, currently under
development, see http://www.socr.org/

What is most needed as output is not straightforward ASCII text, but
rather a document which has been marked up in SGML, XML or a related
language, that preserves its structure and maintains the distinctions
necessary for the generation of high quality braille and audio output.
