Suggestions for tesseract

[Bob Bernstein <poobah@ruptured-duck.com>]

Executing 'apt-cache search tesseract' brings up a multitude of 
packages.

My need is simple enough, I think: I like to scan (using an 
Epson scanner) pages of printed books -- almost one hundred per 
cent text -- and then use OCR to produce pages from which I can 
copy 'n paste snippets of text for note-taking purposes.

What do the assembled multitudes suggest for a tesseract package 
(that's the OCR I've been encouraged to use) on my bullseye 
system, which uname characterizes as:

Linux debian.localdomain 5.10.0-8-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.46-4 
(2021-08-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thank you.
