Looking for freeware to scan multiple photos and autocrop. Straightening would be a plus
ScanTailor Advanced (downloads are in the sidebar, labeled as "Releases") is a little more complex. It takes a folder of images and performs a series of steps to produce good book scans, though it might be useful for your purpose as well. The first step after importing images is to split them up, and ScanTailor does this by looking for straight lines that might indicate a gap between pages. Now, I don't know if this will handle any more than two pictures per image, but it will at least handle doubles. ScanTailor will also attempt to automatically deskew pictures, and then there are a few steps that you'll need to take to make your pictures come out nicely.

I’m looking for a OCR software that scan text
My preferred method is to take pictures of all the pages of the book (Open Camera has a nice option to take a new picture every n seconds), optionally touch them up with ScanTailor (automated), and then turn all the images to a PDF using NAPS2 (which will OCR the text as it goes in).

Tutorial on book digitization
Next is the cleanup. Scan Tailor is the best game in town for this, but it's a dead project. Instead, there are two forks that have picked up where the original developers left off. Scan Tailor Advanced is my current fork of choice, though Scan Tailor Universal tries to add new usability features. For whatever reason, only Advanced makes full use of my CPU, so it's several times faster than Universal for the time being.

If you are interested in more ways to treat a scan, ScanTailor is definitely an option. I am using a fork called ScanTailor Advanced which is available under GPL-3.0 on GitHub. With this tool you can also crop your images and apply options like threshold or posterization to improve readability while further reducing the file size.

Tesseract OCR
I use a £15 arm with a vice grip for my phone from Amazon, copy the files to my laptop and then run a bash for-loop of the tesseract CLI over the resultant files.
I use https://github.com/4lex4/scantailor-advanced to deskew the images and generate the PDF.
It isn't perfect but my purposes are more around research than publication, so, YMMV!

Is there a way to convert "photographed text" in to just "text" in a .pdf file?
Scantailor (https://scantailor.org) is the tool for self-scanned books that exist in images (png, jpg, etc). However, I usually use Irfanview with PDF plugin (https://irfanview.com - download both Irfanview and the Plugins from this home page) I have elsewhere in r/PDF shown how you can do batch splitting of two-page scans, clean up muddy pages (yellowed or browned) . In the Reddit search box, search for Irfanview in this subreddit. Irfanview has lots of commands, so the instructions are very specific, and which I did trial and error on before posting. This is because Irfanview is an image processor and viewer, and PDF transformations are recent to the last couple of years. Note that you will want to run OCR after Irfanview processing, as Irfanview treats PDFs as images (which is what you have now).

Is anyone backing up/reploading Archive.org's scanned books to Libgen, etc.?
Scantailor https://scantailor.org/ might be useful.

OCRmyPDF: Add an OCR text layer to scanned PDF file
I use OCRmyPDF on a regular basis to OCR journal articles my library sends me.
I've found it works great on English but (with appropriate language packs installed) works poorly on Greek and Hebrew. It also makes no effort to understand the layout of pages (e.g., tables).
The project is fantastic, though. I've often considered building a web frontend that cleans up PDFs and then OCRs them using OCRmyPDF.
For cleaning, check out https://scantailor.org/
