One problem that I have with OCR is dealing with images of pages that are warped. I have some books that I would like to turn into electronic books, but not enough to justify setting up a book scanning rig (framework, two cameras, platen, etc). Setting up a document camera is fairly easy, but using it to take pictures of a book laying flat on the base produces images where the pages are warped and most OCR software seems to have problems with warped pages.
After a fair amount of searching I found ScanTailor: https://github.com/4lex4/scantailor-advanced#scan-tailor-advanced https://github.com/4lex4/scantailor-advanced#scan-tailor-adv... which seems to have the capability of dealing with warped page images. I haven't actually gone through the complete workflow with it yet, but it seems to be a very capable OCR package.
