Software was there in 2017 already. I've worked on a device for blind people that did basically this (except there's no need for a stereo image).
Here you can see how flattening works (this was handled by the library, we didn't need to do any custom code):

There's also a feature where it tells you to turn the page, detects that it has been turned, takes a photo, etc. And in the background it flattens, splits into pages and OCRs the photos. With a little practice you can scan and OCR a whole book at 1-5 seconds per page.

Then it saves the OCRed book and it can read it to you whenever you like.
