One that seems to be well-respected (I haven't looked into it in depth
yet) is Tesseract-OCR, which is:

"A commercial quality OCR engine originally developed at HP between 1985
and 1995. In 1995, this engine was among the top 3 evaluated by UNLV. It
was open-sourced by HP and UNLV in 2005."

It's home is here:
