I’d bet not, only because this OCR-ish software wouldn’t have existed back in the 80s and 90s.

I was using a scanner with OCR software in 1991. It was a somewhat new technology, but not cutting edge. I worked for a small publishing company and while the OCR wasn't perfect, it was still much better than having to retype an entire book.
