Is there a solution that does a good job at numeric (1-10) handwriting? I tried tesseract but I’m getting only garbage.
Ideally OSS, but commercial would be OK too.

OpenCV now comes with handwritten digit recognition OCR sample. You can refer to it : http://code.opencv.org/projects/opencv/repository/revisions/master/entry/samples/python2/digits.py

Below is the output of kNN training (it has an error of only 3.5%) :
