It's not OCR. Your problem is that the scanned images of pages of text have not been processed with an OCR program to produce text. Calibre isn't an OCR program and can't convert pictures of text into text (by now I'm pretty sure you understand this) . Your only option is to use an OCR program for conversion or to keep the images and read those. The former can be done in Adobe Acrobat or ABBY and the latter can be done by keeping/reading the original PDF or by removing any leading text, so the document is pure images and converting it the way a comic is converted.
