I'll go out on a limb here and propose that using a scanner is now
obsolete.
Instead of scanning, use a fixed mounted camera such as the Freedom
Scientific Pearl. This will reduce acquisition time from 30+ seconds per
page to about 1 second.
And with Openbook 9, the OCR step seems to take just 2-5 seconds depending
on content. So if you're scanning a whole book of say 250 pages, you're
talking time saved of at least 2 hours!
