I'm trying to read things like street signs, speed limits, store names, from not-necessarily-axis-aligned pictures - so far it seems only Google OCR can do those (and does them quite well). Is Abbyy worth trying for that use?

No API, but mapillary is doing that with machine learning:

It seems likely that Google is doing something similar.
