Google's sponsoring the open source and very powerful OCR software
OCRopus. I'd expect a Windows installer in 12-18 months.
I've used it with a Live CD, and it has a drastically lower error rate, as things stand, than the Windows software I was using (trial versions of the "high end" stuff, even).
So the cost for that portion of things should fall.
