OCR with PHP?

Hi!

Does anybody here know of a library of class to use some OCR tool from within PHP to extract some text from images? Doesn't have to be very accurate. It's just to build a simple seach possibility for stored pictures (mostly scans from magazines).

Thank's in advance and best regards,
Stevie
