Some of these books may be in the public domain and worth looking into. Anyone particularly interested in developing an Arabic language partnership with the project mentioned below?
It sounds like they're writing software, not transcribing books. I'm not sure why this is news that everyone's carrying; <http://www.hf.uib.no/smi/ksv/arabocr.html> is a ten-year old review of Arabic OCRs. <http://www.translation.net/sakhr_automatic_reader.html> is a commercially available Arabic OCR program, even if it's a touch expensive. <http://www.translation.net/ocr.html> is a nice list of OCR programs if you're looking for something beyond what ABBYY supports. --
