It says they use Tesseract as the OCR engine. My experience using Tesseract in other places has been that it works pretty well and if you tune it a bit it can work very well. It struggles a bit with formatted text like tables or diagrams, but does pretty well with blocks of text. The best (most accurate/flexible) OCR software I have ever used is ABBYY, which works so well I can only infer that it is powered by magic. Unfortunately that magic is proprietary, somewhat expensive (though not so bad really) and Windows only. I used it to help my mother digitize hundreds of pages of salary data for a consulting job she was doing where the text was formatted oddly and even with all that we only had a handful of errors in about 800 pages. It doesn't have the awesome organizational stuff that Paperwork does however, which is what I've really been wanting for a while. This is reminding me of an awesome app I used to use when I had a Mac, which is DEVONthink. Basically a personal document database , Mac only and extremely useful, it was one thing I definitely missed. I use [the excellent, highly recommended for academics] Mendeley to organize PDF journal articles and such, but it's not so great for scans.
