Copying text from archive.org books?
« on: February 21, 2022, 11:15:57 PM »
I am curious if there is a way I can just get all the text of an Archive.org book on one and just copy it so I don't have to flip through every single page of the book. I want to to do this because I want to copy How Christ Said the First Mass so that I can make an audio version to listen to using a tolerable text to speech program.

It looks like a photographed book.  Is there an easy way to change that to text, or straight to speech from photo?  Or am I wrong about it being a photo?

The PDF contains both page images and text.
