    A super-fast scanner isn't much use without good OCR software -
    could I please "piggy-back" on this query: can anyone recommend
    good OCR (and/or hadwritten script recognition?) for Arabic,
    and other languages written in Arabic script,
    to use with a fast scanner in corpus collection?

    thanks
