NAME
Ocrad - command line text recognition tool
SYNOPSIS
ocrad [options] [files]
DESCRIPTION
GNU Ocrad is an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) program based on a feature extraction method. It reads images in pbm (bitmap), pgm (greyscale) or ppm (color) formats and produces text in byte (8-bit) or UTF-8 formats. The pbm, pgm and ppm formats are collectively known as pnm. Ocrad includes a layout analyser able to separate the columns or blocks of text normally found on printed pages.
OPTIONS
-h, --help display this help and exit -V, --version output version information and exit -a, --append append text to output file -c, --charset=<name> try '--charset=help' for a list of names -e, --filter=<name> try '--filter=help' for a list of names -f, --force force overwrite of output file -F, --format=<fmt> output format (byte, utf8) -i, --invert invert image levels (white on black) -l, --layout perform layout analysis -o, --output=<file> place the output into <file> -q, --quiet suppress all messages -s, --scale=[-]<n> scale input image by [1/]<n> -t, --transform=<name> try '--transform=help' for a list of names -T, --threshold=<n%> threshold for binarization (0-100%) -u, --cut=<l,t,w,h> cut input image by given rectangle -v, --verbose be verbose -x, --export=<file> export results in ORF format to <file> If no files are specified, ocrad reads the image from standard input. If the -o option is not specified, ocrad sends text to standard output. Exit status: 0 for a normal exit, 1 for environmental problems (file not found, invalid flags, I/O errors, etc), 2 to indicate a corrupt or invalid input file, 3 for an internal consistency error (eg, bug) which caused ocrad to panic.
