Yes.  OmniPage Professional uses a true 32-bit code for the OCR module.

I can't say what you should use, but I had success using Metaware High C
and the Phar Lap assembler and linker.

Be prepared to do some heavy-duty system-level development to establish
code and data communication across the USE32 and USE16 segments.  I enjoyed
it myself -- a good opportunity to work with native 386 code.
