Those of us interested in OCR will want to keep an eye on
http://code.google.com/p/ocropus/.

From that Web page: ``We are planning on an alpha-release of the
system in Q1. It's a technology preview that shows the architecture
and is already quite useful...''

This is the follow-on to the Tesseract work that came out last year.
