Coincidentally, I had the impetus to OCR this:

which produced this:

I used Tesseract: https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/

No guarantees.    Does anybody know of a better deal in Santa Fe, or if we mailed the type script off anywhere?  The quality of the OCR software is my most urgent concern.  Are there some REALLY GOOD ONES?  Would it be cheaper for me to buy the software myself?
