"Title Case" is not very readable on the internet and creates confusing capitalization. Please reserve capital letters for names of things.

| Jul 23, 2016 at 19:14 | comment | added | sammy gerbil | As Inquisitive says, this is really a trivial question with a trivial answer - Yes. At some time in the future, scanning a book in this way will be as simple as scanning a single page is today. But we do not yet know how or when. The only interesting (uncertain) aspect of your question is guessing how it will be done. | |

| Jul 23, 2016 at 14:40 | comment | added | Inquisitive | The short answer to your question is "yes", it is possible AND probable depending upon cost/benefit at any moment in time. They could probably even employ some AI techniques to overcome any possible hurdles or even to augment the process. | |
| Jul 23, 2016 at 14:21 | comment | added | sammy gerbil | Probably the text on 2 adjacent pages would have to be scanned at the same time, because this text would be much closer than the thickness of a single page. Software would then have to 'resolve' 2 superimposed pages of text. | |
