Does your scanner have any buttons across the front? The Microtek scanner I'm using has a text button on the front so it's just a matter of flipping the pages replacing the book and hitting the button to do each set of two pages which are then saved to an RTF file. No going back the the computer each time. I've got about an hour into my project and have managed 105 pages all proofed and checked (I've been proofing and checking a chapter at a time).
The Microtek uses ABBYY Finereader for OCR and I've found it about 98% accurate which helps too.
