SDAPS(1)

📦 version 1.9.8, in ubuntu jammy

💖 SDAPS 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for sdaps — the little command-line icon that does data acquisition with paper-based surveys. yes, actual paper. we're bringing it back. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

sdaps [-h] project command command_args

that's the whole shape of it. project, then a command, then whatever command_args that command is hungry for. and -h? always there for you. 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

SDAPS is an open source (GPLv3, LPPL) optical mark recognition — aka OMR — program. it's giving "scantron but make it free software." 👑

it's written in python, and the way that it has an integrated workflow with both LibreOffice and LaTeX to create questionnaires?? literally the main character energy of survey tooling. you write the questionnaire, it reads the bubbles. slay. ✨

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

heads up bestie: this manual page is not exhaustive. ngl, it was written by the Debian project just to give users a quick hint on how to run sdaps and get help — no effort was made to document the complete command. 💀

why, you ask? because a completely new upstream release is on its way, which means the manual page needs a complete rewrite too. so like… we're in our transitional era. it is what it is. 🙈

in order to get full help right now, just run:

sdaps -h

or run any of the commands listed there without arguments. that's the move. that's the vibe check. 💅
