Many postings regarding OCRs have gone unanswered here. Finally,
PC Magazine ( March 28, 1989 Volume 8 Number 6) has devoted an
in-depth review into this illusive subject, under the father topic
"Alternate Input" (p. 187). 

There is also a sequential narrative summary of "Omnipage: OCR
Made Easy, Affordable" (p.38) and a brief insert "AutoRead Confers
Optical Character Recognition on the Multilingual Office." The former
is available on both Mac and IBM, and has the ability to translate
TIFF files of multi-font, multi-column pages. The latter is capable of
up to 200 cps conversion.
