Bulk OCR utility

Here is what I know about that:

Vividata OCR-Shop will do this. It runs on Linux from the command line.
We have the scaled down version (txt only, no pdf), and it works very
well. Not cheap.

ABBY also has a command-line app. Runs on Windows, and the price is
based on volume of usage. It costs mega-bucks.

Finally there is Tessaract. It's a Google thing and it's free. In my
experience it is useless.
