Default Importing scanned data

I try http://www.shareware.com
and then search for OCR.

Maybe you can find something listed in:

Hi all

I have a substantial quantity of tabulated data presented in JPEG format
from scanned hard copies.
The data is typed and "clean".
Is there a freebie utility out there that will "OCR" this data into .xls
format? I appreciate that it will then need careful checking, but it would
still be a lot quicker than typing it all in.

Thanks
