Working for a library on rare fonts I've found Tesseract fantastic for custom training.

It certainly beats Abbyy from 10 years ago - maybe a low bar to clear.

I had to spend some time setting up labeling then did some supplemental training on UB-Mannheim datasets.

Tesseract is the only OCR FOSS solution that has reasonable performance.
