Tesseract is an excellent OCR. It is open source and sponsored by Google: http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/

It is possible to configure it as an external transformation in Alfresco. Details on this forum post: http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=14&p=46874#p35617

Hi,

We have implemented an OCR server integrated with Alfresco, which can be used as transformer or via Javascript and Java. It runs on a separate OCR server and supports Abbyy and Google OCR. for more informaiton see here - https://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=44739
