Don't know about most people, but I OCR the scans and take pains to proofread and correct them.

- If so, about how large of an image file is each page?
In 300DPI PNG, which I use, something between 1.5 and 3 MB per page, depending on complexity. Much less with JPEG, obviously.

- Do you notice significant errors creeping into the text?
Way too many, yes.

- What do you do to fix those errors?
They need to be hand-fixed.

- How do you find obvious text errors without manual editing?
A few typical errors can be found and fixed with regular expressions, but mosty of them require manual approach.
