We've been working on this, particularly to extract footprint from
georectified fire insurance maps... See the brilliant work of my
colleague Mauricio Giraldo at his git page.

Subject: OCR and GIS
Deryck and Paige,
I was wondering if you knew someone who has successfully used Optical
Character Recognition (OCR) to create shapefiles to put into GIS?
Or if
you knew someone who I could talk to who would know?
Thanks, Stephen Woods
