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.
