Tesseract OCR is a Google project claiming to be "probably one of the most accurate open source OCR engines available." I tried it once a few months ago and wasn't terribly impressed.
But, if you'd like to try an open source OCR solution, check out this document.

Re: Tesseract OCR
I believe that is what bkrpr based their software on as well.

Re: Tesseract OCR
Don't get me wrong -- I would love Tesseract to succeed. I found a misclassification bug with FineReader for certain output formats, I contacted the company, and they told me that the bug did exist, but they wouldn't fix the problem.
