Good OCR software

Can anyone recommend some decent OCR software? I've got a few things I want to scan and upload, but the software I've got is shit and doesn't recognise most of the characters, even when the print quality is good. Currently using ABBYY Fineread 6.

ABBYY Fineread is the best one I've found by far, never had any major issues with it. Maybe try upgrading to a newer version? Newest is 10.

that's only available for windows, for Linux users there is something called Tesseract available which should be okay. Never tried it myself though.
