Do you have any data on the reliability of OCR systems used in production? I don’t have any such data, but given that the USPS was using OCR to sort mail over 50 years ago I would be surprised if these systems aren’t incredibly accurate.

There are many more mistakes in OCR even with printed material than might be expected. There is a major problem with Xerox Scanners and the 8's and 0's issue I reference.
