For my method (i.e. cutting the spine off & feeding it through my double side scanner with autometic feed & using ABBYY Finereader) it usually takes about 20 minutes to cut & scan. The OCR varies based on the page size & print quality - and to a lesser to the print font. For a typical paperback book about 2 - 3 hours finding and correcting OCR mistakes. They don't all show up with spell checker & I've found some common OCR errors to look for. These can be fixed with a global find/replace.
