It's all pure text. Right here:
https://github.com/anonlivros/anonlivros
You can toss that into Google Translate (or DeepL, or Bing Translate, or whatever). It should translate the original Portuguese -> English for you.

The guide includes information on how to trigger by sound and by timer. Doubtless there is more essential information in there that I will parse through.

You'll also want to peruse the diybookscanner forums, just like Turtle91 recommended. That site has lots of different designs+builds+tips as well.
Like one enhancement you may want is a V-shaped mount to hold the book + plexiglass in order to press pages flat. This will help keep pages perfectly straight, so you don't have to deal with wavy/bent text. (This can be somewhat corrected in software, but it's better to not introduce those errors in the first place.)
