Mark,

Many thanks for your input. This is one of the packages that I am thinking of. Good to know its accuracy.

Hi again Yan,

There's this one:

http://www.worldlanguage.com/Products/Readiris-Pro-11-Middle-East-Edition-ArabicReadiris-Farsi-Persian-Arabic-Farsi-110226.htm

We have a copy of the Traditional Chinese version of Readiris and find its accuracy to be fairly poor (and its performance on latin characters was poor as well IIRC), but I can't comment on how this product works with other languages.
