OCR programs available?

[Henry Minsky]

I am trying to find out if there any good OCR (optical character
recognition) packages available for the UNIX (or DOS) environment. I am
interested in trying to feed the output of a fax-receive modem into an
OCR package, and see if anything useful comes out.

Does anyone have any experience with OCR packages (particularly
xerox/kurzweil) that they can share with me. I am interested especially
in something which could be run in a 'batch' mode for processing
documents automatically.

Thanks,
