This really depends on the OCR-software you are using, I scanned a 560 page book 2 days ago and had it converted with Finereader 9 (trial) and the software is amazing - it comes with inbuilt dictionaries and "knows" what characters it had troubles with so the "proofing" process was done within an hour.
