"An As-Yet-Unnamed OCR Project"
does have a number of good links to other projects of varyingly open
licenses. It also has a mailing list archive for the project, which has
some good random comments.

This appears to be a relatively new effort, but only does 70% recognition
right now. It uses greyscale input in an attempt to better inform the
recognition engine.

I just found this, on the subject of Tibetan OCR :-). I'm not sure about
Tibetan specifically, but I believe the principles of OCR are broadly
applicable. The page also has a good links section, including a couple of
book reviews and a couple of pointers to open source OCR-related code and
projects.
Those are the links I've found so far that had some value to them. Hope
this helps someone...
