With good organization, it's faster than scanning, and you do not need a scanner just software (Windows has an inbuilt print screen command that can be used, but a program like SnagIt is customizable to exact dimensions, output, does repeat by itself at timed intervals so you just have to turn pages in between...).
However, due to lower screen resolution, the OCR has more problems recognizing the text than if you used a scanner. I speak from experience.
