How to digitize a book

>>61337477
depends do you want to keep the book intact? and be cheap about it?
if yes then cut out the pages and put them onto a batch scanner
then use an ocr to get the text out

You should type it out. It's the only viable option.

Google something called openCV. Buy a DSLR, and a rig to turn pages automatically.

Or cut all the pages out a book and throw them all in a scanner printer.

some people buy or make automated book scanners, though this might be overkill for just a one-off scan
for OCR, you want high contrast and distortion-free images. colour and even greyscale doesn't matter, 1 bit black/white is enough, high resolution is important
