We use ReadIris on a Mac for Chinese and Japanese and it's actually been 
working pretty well.  Senior students used it to digitize readings and 
then upload into Breen's online dictionaries (for glossing).  And they 
reported that it worked well and they loved it.

On Windows we tend to use FineReader, though I don't know if it does 
Tibetan.  My guess is not, since it doesn't do Chinese or Japanese 
either.  I don't have experience with any other Windows OCR.  Sorry!
