Comrades, I just got an old 80s theory book from an older comrade as a gift and you’re lucky to even find a used print-version anywhere, let alone a pdf version. Even the title of the book itself yields a handful of results at most. So I thought: This shit needs to be digitized.

Thing is, I don’t have it in me to pull this thing apart just to scan it. Scanning via phone is suboptimal in my experience and doesn’t yield the best results to read on a kindle/pdf-reader. I’d be willing to just retype the thing, but at 300 pages that’s quite the workload too.

Is there a good way to do this that’s not super out there, expensive or time consuming?

    my software is basic but decent, if the scanner isnt far from the pc you could look at bringing ur mouse to the scanner n saving yourself the trip to the pc every time

    my software has a “1-click scan” system does your software have it?

    in the end, it’s easier done than said, even if a bit long and boring
