Though I haven't heard anything from the developer for years, WPP appears 
to still be available, and it has been updated to run natively in OS X:

WPP isn't really an OCR program, though it has that feature.  It is a 
document management program.  (And a quite reasonably priced one, at 
that, for only $99.)

Working Papers Pro uses an OCR engine from ExperVision that was 
discontinued as a stand-alone product for the Macintosh quite a few years 
ago. Apparently, the developer toolkit for the Macintosh is still being 
sold and developed:

Not having tested it for ages, I can't say if Working Papers could 
measure up to the stand-alone OCR programs for the Macintosh, but it is 
an intriguing option.
