From speaking to a leader of kannaDa gaNaka pariShat, I learned about their very satisfactory experience with using vFlat scanner.

It seems they've successfully used it  + crowdsourcing to rapidly scan large works despite the limit of 100 pages/ user-day .

Supposedly it handles 2-column text well, and exports pdf as well as text well. Besides camera, it seems to import pdf as well.

As per https://t.me/vflat_india/595 - they use Google vision. " We want to provide unlimited OCR but since we use Google API and use premium model not the free on,"

Yes vflat is good i have seen people using this. Yesterday I recommended KSU people to use it. As per users review this is 99% accurate on most fonts

Can someone suggest a mobile phone holder arm so that I can keep the phone steady while scanning books with vflat? (Should be non-made-in-China [Taiwan is ok] and should be available in India. The ones on amazon.in claiming to be made in India are most likely just Chinese imports and show Chinese models in images.)

That just looks like an Indian reselling a Chinese product. Pure dandho. If you have firmer info, please let me know.

Yes, Google's Vision API is by far the best I have seen (in terms of accuracy). I have used the Vision API's (DOCUMENT_TEXT_DETECTION) to convert more than 2000 pages.

Here is the python code https://cloud.google.com/vision/docs/pdf#vision_set_endpoint-python that I have used in my automation.

If you have a google cloud account, the initial 1000 pages are free I guess. After that they start charging. https://cloud.google.com/vision/pricing (refer: Document Text Detection feature).

If someone needs any help let me know.

Regards,
Vinod
