Yes, that was exactly my problem. *I* knew the only characters on
the page were 0-9 A-F, in pairs, but I had no way to tell the
software that. Eventually I said "screw it" and typed it in.

I just did
exactly that myself a few weeks ago...I wound up typing
in an entire very fuzzy hex dump of a 4KB ROM. You wanna talk about
frustrating!
Now that gives me an idea -- if you know that the text in question is
a HEX dump, then you ought to be able to optimize the OCR by
restricting its set of choices. However, I really doubt that OCR of
hex dumps is enough of a market to attract the attention of OCR
software developers to special case it for us :-).
