We used to use ABBYY Finereader Engine for document archiving solutions for Governmental and Corporate customers. Very good support and reliable solution.

Answer 2

Disclaimer: I work for Atalasoft

We make an OCR engine that provides an abstraction to other vendors OCR engines. You write simple .NET code and then choose the vendor you want. We support Abbyy, the Google Tesseract engine and our own Glyphreader. We are also working on adding others. The various engines offer different cost/performance/accuracy characteristics -- you choose what works best for you and your customers -- they can be swapped out with one line of code.
