Does it have to run under X and Orca? In other words, what about the command line? If it must be graphical, I can't help you as I don't know of any, but there are probably some with a graphical front-end. Tesseract-OCR is command line based and works well enough, but not as good as the Windows solutions. If you don't mind buying proprietary software, FineReader is probably a good choice. I'm sure there are probably others, but for high quality OCR, they aren't free. On the other hand, I got passable results in a test of Tesseract, so it depends on the material. Both support multiple languages, but judging by your name and your message, I suspect that your native language is not English, so FineReader might be a better option. I don't know what the engine behind Omnipage is, but I vaguely recall a Linux version of it.
