Title. I got a hold of a couple books (one text, other,images) that I would like to make it available to others and the don’t exists in digital format. Photos to PDF? Or something that converts IMG to text?

    When I wanted to quickly scan two books to my kindle, I used vFlat. It wanted money but somehow I was able to scan both books without paying anything. I put my phone so that it can see the double page from top and then set the app to take a picture every X seconds (about 5 I think). The I just flipped a page and it took a picture of the double page, created two PDF pages from it, fixed aligning and perspective, removed fingers from corners and so on. Pretty good experience. I tried several FOSS alternatives before, but sadly none was as good as this.
