That is great.
Just for the record, ebook-speaker (already in Debian and written by a
blind person) should be capable of doing that as well (in Jessie and
sid), albeit it is focusing on speaking it out. From the man-page [1]:
Give an eBook_file as argument to eBook-speaker. Many eBook formats are
supported. eBook-speaker also tries to read scanned documents through
Optical Character Recognition.
and:
-s Scan a document using a hardware scanner and OCR it with the tool
tesseract.
