and doesn't need to be exactly right

What kind of tasks do you consider that don't need to be exactly right?

I'm not sure if it would be viable for a long book, and I'm also avoiding google, but thanks for helping. I got some nice suggestions in this thread.

Well, I'm avoiding google, but I will keep it in mind as a last last resort, thanks

I'm giving preference to open source tools, but that's a good thing to know, thanks

Thanks for the suggestions. That OCR_translate looks interesting. I will prioritize other recommended tools that seem to be more focused on books, but I bookmarked it for future needs.

I used tesseract, but the output pdf didn't have visible text, and I found no way to change it. Maybe I don't know how to properly use it., or it's not intended to keep formatting.

That PaddleOCR looks very interesting. It will even extract images and formulas and somewhat preserve formatting in the output! I will try this one, even if takes more than a day to process is with my low end cpu. Thank you for the suggestion!

A lot of people used to pirate food, but as our housing was pushed from houses to apartments, they took that freedom from us. If you still live in a house, you can still pirate a lot of food in your yard.
