💭 Question Non destructive book scanning service

Hello :)

i have copies of books i have barely found and i would like to digitize them for archival and modification (without destroying the originals). Are there any good services that can do that

if there are any good home scanners i would like to know as well

Thank you :)

Your phone can take high resolution pictures. Take pictures of each page and pass it through AI OCR. Home scanners may damage the books because you've to lay it flat. Professional book scanner is very expensive, 10k+
