In what format ?
This is the greek alphabet:

αβγδεζηθικλμνξοπρστυφχψω
άέήίόύώ
ϊϋ
ΐΰ
ΑΒΓΔΕΖΗΘΙΚΛΜΝΞΟΠΡΣΤΥΦΧΨΩ
ΆΈΉΊΌΎΏ

I don't know if this is helpful....

Hope to find some time to do it myself.
Is there some tools to help the process ?

Thank you in advance!

If you are using windows, please have a look at the tool I have created to ease the training process. (created a GUI for the training process of tesseract ocr)


There is a guide for the application at http://code.google.com/p/jtesseract/wiki/QuickStartupGuide  (.NET framework should be installed in your machine for this to work)

Also it is important to be familiar with the standard tesseract-ocr training procedure mentioned in wiki: http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/wiki/TrainingTesseract
