Seems like there's good ideas in there, especially using things you may already have (cellphone camera + lamp).

I didn't think of voice activation. That's a great idea. One of the problems is the camera moving because you're pressing buttons or touching the screen.

On cleaning up the images + OCR, you may also want to check out a few topics:

2020: "OCRing + EPUBing my first book: Tips?" (Especially my Posts #12+#15)
2020: "Optimize PDFs from archive.org for E-Ink devices"

I find Scan Tailor Advanced better at cropping/dewarping/deskewing compared to Finereader's built-in tools.

And I like the little link at the end of the tutorial (I do lots of ebook conversions for Mises!)... although does it really belong?

(Kinsella's v2.0 of the book is coming out soon!)
