No, but I am beginning to feel the pressure to write one. :)

Your help is very welcome, and it is about time to add support for other 
languages to ocrad. But I warn you it won't be easy. Ocrad is tuned for 
ASCII and some minor variations like ISO-8859-15 (western) and 
ISO-8859-9 (Turkish).

Adding support for Cyrillic (I suppose this is what you want) will be a 
formidable task (years), and I only can help you with the 
infrastructure, because I have no idea about Cyrillic.


Best regards,
Antonio.
