Hi Winslow
 
I just ran a Google search with Arabic+OCR and came up with a good set of results. There is a commercial site:
 
 
http://www.irislink.com/c2-561-189/Readiris-Pro-11-Middle-East---Arabic-OCR-Software.aspx?adwp=GGS-RI-ME&gclid=CNC-3bTQ_JYCFQsQagodQH_pWg
 
and I saw but did not read others.
 
ABBY Finereader does NOT do Arabic and I did not check Omnipage.
 
Hope this helps.

Hello All,  Does anyone know of an Arabic OCR application? I've checked with the three   primary adaptive OCR vendors with no success.
