I haven't got acceptable results with OCR... every page requries a lot of hand-work until the text is correct. At least the way omnipage works for me Its not an option for me. (and I did try the google OCR also, it was even worse).. OCR helps you, because its faster than typewriting... but until I get a whole book OCRed I could have easily read it in the same time on conventional paper also.

Don't think scanning with 2 rects will get better image based pdfs, I think we got this solved up quite nicely here. Scan the whole page at once, and let the script pick it appart!

I guess it depends on the size of the text-bundle you want to digitize which method is faster. Scanning 2 pages at once still took me 2 afternoons to scan this 350 pages book. I don't want it to take any longer...
