I use the following method:
1. Scan the book
2. Run through ABBYY, save as DOCX, HTML (for images and to see if text is seen as image by mistake) and PDF/A (to simplify searching the original scan)
3. Start Word, load the DOCX and run my add-in (first procedures) to solve/fix a large number of OCR issues.
4. Before the final two steps, I also run a spellcheck
5. Perform the conversion to HTML and generate the basic ePUB
6. Make final touches to the ePUB via Sigil. Usually that is somewhat more complex formatting and the TOC.
