I asked the following question on the B-Greek list and got no response, so I
am trying it here, where techies might be more inclined to hang out:

Can anyone suggest or recommend OCR software for ancient (accented) Greek? I
know of several products that read Modern Greek, but I've only encountered
one for polytonic Greek (Anagnostis), and it is very pricey. Does it have
any competitors?

I am also interested in recommendations regarding OCR
for Hebrew, Syriac, Coptic, Slavonic, Arabic, and Ethiopic.
