  Jim Weiler of Xoogi just announced what I take to be 99.999%
OCR work (perhaps I lost a '9') on the Bookpeople list -- he wrote:

  "Yesterday I proofread the first book I've done with only two mistakes in 200-plus pages."

  FineReader (unknown version) on 400dpi greyscale scans of a very well
printed and preserved book, it seems. No details about how long much work
it took in scanning, so it's difficult to say if it was done economically
or at very great expense in terms of time.
