In other words, starting with the 1st page, place the book flat on the
scanner platen and insure that both left and right page are in contact
with the platen. Set your OCR software to recognize "2 pages per scan".
In most cases also set your OCR software to recognize "single column per
page". Scan the double page. Turn page to the next double page. Repeat
the process.

Yes, you need to scan both sides of each page. Especially if it is in the
body of the text - that is, after the preliminary pages, you want to keep
even the blank pages so that the page numbering comes out right when the
books are processed for braille translation and Daisy navigation.

When you scan a book, Do you have to scan the front and back side of each
page to make sure that you don't miss any part of the book during the
scan?
