I know there are programs that can learn the characters/glyphs but still have the English rules (there are languages where "i" is written as such, for instance).
In fact, I have. Romanian, for one. No, no scan program is "perfect," but Abbyy Finereader comes as close as it gets, in my humble opinion. All that program "knows" is characters that it LEARNS. It's not perfect the first time you use it, not even in English. But...nothing is, as Harry says. And I know that Tox scans in languages other than English all the time.
