Hi Ian,
There is a very basic review of the OCR software (Textbridge 98 and Omnipage
8.0) on the following page
http://www.pcworld.com/software/utility/articles/nov97/1511p124.html
There are also reviews of scanners and the free software packages with them
on the following page
http://www.pcworld.com/hardware/scanners/articles/jan97/1501p175b.html
or search PC world's home site at
http://www.pcworld.com/home/index.html
finally there's an old review of OCR software (Nov 96 I think) at:
http://www.zdnet.com/cshopper/content/9611/cshp0035.html
Personally, I'd certainly be interested in testing any OCR software, perhaps
we can discuss it.
