I'm afraid that any book created by OCR has to be proof-read line by line - there are no "shortcuts". It's hard, labour-intensive work. It generally takes me around 100-150 hours work to properly proof-read one of the books that I upload to MR. However, that's to make a "perfect" book. "Raw" OCR will generally give you good enough results for casual reading.
