   Scan and stitch legal-sized docs - recom

   Looking to scan 8.5 x 14 (legal) paper documents into 8.5 x 11 paper.  I   
   have Canon's Scan & Stitch, but the halves of each end of the 8.5 x 14   
   scan don't match up.  The top half (1st scan) is offset from the bottom   
   half (2nd scan).  What I get after scan and stitch looks like:   
      
           **********   
           **********   
           **********        (1st scan, top of legal doc)   
           ********** <--.   
           ********** <--|__ overlap (same content)   
      **********      <--|   
      **********      <--'   
      **********             (2nd scan, bottom of legal doc)   
      **********   
      **********   
      
   Canon's tool does not align top with bottom.  Plus it overlaps   
   (duplicates) some content from top into bottom.  Looking for a free tool   
   that will scan, and stitch the top and bottom of a legal-sized document   
   with the top and bottom aligned with each other.   
      
   I did find Hugin (https://hugin.sourceforge.io/), but that seems   
   oriented to stitching together multiple pics into a panoramic pic.  With   
   text only, the alignment would be on the overlapping text between the 2   
   scans of the top and bottom of the legal-sized page.   
      
   Some users noted Arcsoft's Scan-n-Stitch, but it's not free (but maybe   
   for the Deluxe edition), and looks like Arcsoft dropped it years ago.   
   Apparently this is bundled with Epson printers, but likely a Lite   
   version that is free.
