I use Readiris software I have installed at work on a Windows computer. [/hungs head in shame]
The Readiris OCR came as a bundle with a cheap printer/copier/scanner/fax combo from HP.

I have tried ALL OCR programs that can be installed from package or compiled with reasonable effort on my Mint Linux (Ubuntu based) distribution.
I have even tried to install a few Windows based OCR programs under wine, but since I need an OCR program for my private use only very seldom I gave up ... for now.
