I don't know if it will be significantly different than what Google Translate does, but I would give the major cloud vendors (Google, Amazon, Microsoft and I guess OpenAI/ChatGPT) OCR services a shot. It's pretty simple and cheap to do (like, about a dollar for the whole thing). Last time I compared them, Google's OCR came out ahead, but it's task-dependent so in your case it might be different. General purpose open-source OCR solutions like Tesseract, TrOCR, etc will probably not be as good as the cloud ones, based on my experience. There's some specialized research work out there for antique manuscripts, but that will require some digging on your part with an uncertain outcome. I think at that point, I would also look into manual transcription - for 200 pages, it might be reasonably affordable.
