Abbyy has done the job fine for some Greek texts I OCR'ed in it. It even works great on photographs taken with my mobile phone! 
I certainly don't doubt that. I don't know any better OCR program than Abbyy, but still, it still is pattern matching which always is a bit guessing while taking statistics into account. Because you only knew it worked after you've checked the text thoroughly, no? Do you blindly trust the output of the OCR'ing without checking anything? After checking the first two pages, would you trust the OCR'ing enough to skip he other 100 pages? For some stuff OCR'ing is absolutely great, for other things, there might be better ways which you don't need to double check everything.
Cookie, sush alright, will you...
