In this particular matter you do get what you pay for. ABBYY Finereader (commercial paid software) comes recommended by all the members here who work with OCR.

You can try Google's tesseract engine, with various frontends. It is regarded as the best FOSS OCR, but the prevailing opinion is Finereader is worth the cost.
