Hello Annie, If you can find a flatbed scanner large enough to take a double-page of any of your books, VeuScan will allow you to automate the scanning process with its Repeat function. You can set the timing to suit your scanner. It's still pretty time-consuming, but it's quicker than scanning using ABBYY FineReader and you can feed the resulting file to FineReader for its excellent OCR. I also press down on the centre of the book I'm scanning and the results are almost perfect. I don't think there's a quick solution if you can't remove the bindings and use an automatic feed.
For the iPhone, TextGrabber can concatinate multiple pages now, and I think the new Prizmo may be able to do the same. If your book can fit into the StandScan Pro when opened out to show both pages, Prizmo can do a good job. I can't remember whether I've tried this with TextGrabber, but I'd think it might be possible.
