Free OCR software for Mac OS X?
Anyone ever heard of any free Optical Character Recognition for Mac OS X? OmniPage looks cool but I can't justify the price since it's only one project I need to do (personal typed letters from the 1970's). Last time I used OCR was in 1996 when a scanner I bought came with it - I'm guessing publishers want to discourage OCR to protect their printed material?

Please forgive the shameless plug, but I looked in vain for low-cost (or even usable) Mac OCR application, and when I couldn't find it started a project to produce one.
VelOCRaptor has a very simple drag and drop GUI to read images and write PDF files with the image and its text. It's free until it's good enough to sell!
Please drop by www.VelOCRaptor.com, try it out, and let me know what you think.
Thanks
