I haven't used OCR on Linux in a while, but here are to candidates I found
that are available in Debian Etch. (yes, I haven't upgraded, *yet*).

gocr is a multi-platform OCR (Optical Character Recognition) program.

Clara OCR is intended for large scale digitalization projects. It features a
powerful GUI and a web interface for cooperative digitalization of books.


There was one that recognized bar codes too, but I don't recall the name.

Good luck!
