Whew! This is all a bit overwhelming.
I looked at 4lex4 / scantailor-advanced but I cannot see how to use it.
I am used to downloading a .msi or .exe for the installation.
I don't have a clue how to install scantailor-advanced or then use it.

I looked at https://github.com/4lex4/scantailor-advanced#readme
However, I saw no instructions for installing it.

Thanks to everyone for all this info.
As you say: I came to the right place.

Boy, oh boy... Well, you've come to the right place.

I've been writing about this stuff extensively since 2012.

For some of the most recent topics, see:

• 2020: "OCRing + EPUBing my first book: Tips?"
• 2022: "Converting PDF to EPUB and automatically creating popup footnotes"

and, just last week, I wrote an even bigger summary here which linked to even more of the previous threads:

• 2023: "How to extract footnotes from pdf?"
  
  • About PDF->EPUB
    
  • + problems that crop up with footnotes -> ebooks, and how to deal with them.
    

That should hold you over on all OCRing + PDF->EPUB + DOCX->EPUB info for... oh, about 100 years.
