! Did you actually did all of that bro, seriously wow.

But HuS is already available in English on Archive.org in many many formats..

For me at the moment it all seems its gonna take a lot of time and effort, my HP scanner already has an OCR software and which is why I will be doing a searchable PDF so that it becomes easy to copy the text out of it..

for your suggestion.

Anyways, see this:

But this takes the cake:

The setup was much more straight forward as you improvise a lot of it. Definitely much faster then a flatbed scanner.

The version available on archive.org has had a very simple OCR process performed on the scanned PDF documents, if you look at some sample text quoted below, a lot of editing is required especially with the names and more importantly the correct Salaat and Salaam on Nabi

and Sahabah

Ideally we would get a first class ebook, which would be fitting for a book like Hayatus Sahabah.

"Rasulullaah {JSP would commend anything good and encourage it. On the
other hand, he condemned anything evil and discouraged it. He chose the
moderate path in all matters and was never contradictory. He was never
negligent of the Deeni welfare of the people so that they did not grow negligent
towards the Deen or turn away from it altogether. He had a method of dealing
with every situation without compromising on the rights of any person nor
transgressing them in any way. The best of people were in his attendance and
those that he regarded as the most virtuous were the ones who wished the best
for others. In his estimation, the highest ranking people were those who
sympathised most with people and assisted them most."

Hadhrat Husayn SBSsl>e> narrates that he further asked his father about the
gatherings that Rasulullaah Wi$s held. Hadhrat Ali *g})3@« replied, "Rasulullaah
W80: never sat or stood without Dhikr on his tongue. He would never reserve a
place for himself (in the Masjid) and also forbade others from doing this.
Whenever he arrived in a gathering, he sat on the fringe of the gathering and

T HE LIVES OF THE SAHABAH j$B)£i@?e> (Vol-1) 6T_

instructed people to do the same. He gave equal attention to each person in the
gathering so that all of them thought that they were the most honoured.
Whenever a person sat with him or stood with him to address a need,
Rasulullaah ^$1 remained with him patiently until the person himself took
leave. When anyone asked him for anything, he would give the person his need
or kindly tell the person that he did not have the means to fulfil the need."
