OCR Programs : ABBYY FineReader Optical Character Recognition Software

When I scanned a load of old printed documents (what I'd written myself in the past) to put on my Rik's Workbench section I was struck with a problem. The PDFs I made are not indexible by Google 'cuz they're just scans - not text.

So I had a nosey around the web and I found this product from ABBYY. I have to say it did a pretty good job of converting my docs into real text and retaining the page layout of the original. It features a built-in spell checker, so I've even got better text in the scan than was in the original document.
