I can't say that I've seen one.  Maybe something in the barcode/OCR land 
(though I was looking for optical barcode recognition this weekend and 
didn't come up with anything.)

Here's the only OSS OCR that I know of.

  http://jocr.sourceforge.net/

Maybe it could be extended or refactored to provide a mark recognition 
API?  Are you looking for something with a front-end or just a library?
