Didn't you already ask this question? superuser.com/questions/78027/… – musicfreak Dec 6 '09 at 20:25
There is a slight difference in the questions - the old one is specifically asking for something mac compatible (which might include web based solutions if such exist) and this one is a more general in the sense (OS agnostic) but more specific elsewhere (web based). – David Spillett Dec 6 '09 at 20:30

CVISION at http://www.cvisiontech.com/online-conversion/general/main.html has a free online OCR system that's very easy to use. Just upload a file and it will convert it into a text searchable PDF that you can download. It also allows you to compress and web-optimize files.
