Hi Carl, Tesseract outputs to stdout if you just specify 'stdout' as the output file name (not '/dev/stdin').
As Zdenko mentioned, piping image data in may not work yet (though I'd guess /dev/stdin on Linux probably does). Does that answer your question?

In might work by reading from /dev/stdin, but I can't figure out how to get the text - I think it wants to create /dev/stdout.txt Any suggestions? I am doing this from a python script, so if that helps, good. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
