Free OCR Software

Free Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software. They give it away in order to promote their OCR API. - http://www.simpleocr.com/

Web based! Wow, I had great success using http://www.newocr.com/ to process a picture of a document. 12 megapixel camera in "text" optimized mode, it came out perfect.  100x better than the stuff from 10 years ago.

Google has released ocropus to the world as a free OCR library.  Cool.  I recall wanting free OCR for some concept or another... too bad I don't recall what that was!

Update:
Someone took the Google code to create a Free OCR program.  Nice.
