💖 LIOS(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual for Lios, aka train-tesseract — a General Commands Manual page and honestly a whole vibe. she's giving accessibility icon, she's giving open source royalty, and she's about to teach you how to turn ✨pictures of words✨ into ✨actual words✨. buckle up 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

train-tesseract — a GUI for training the tesseract OCR engine 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lios
train-tesseract <image file name> [image file name [image file name]...]

like. she can just run. or you can hand her a whole lil stack of images, one after another, and she'll take them all. no cap 🫶

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Lios is a free and open source software for converting print into text using either a scanner, a camera, or a screenshot. it's that girl fr 💖

she can also produce text out of scanned images from other sources, such as a Pdf, an Image, or a Folder containing Images. so like, whatever format you've got lying around, she's not gonna be dramatic about it ✨

the program is given total accessibility for visually impaired users — that's not a footnote, that's the whole point, and it's iconic behavior tbh 👑

Lios is written in python3, and it's released under the GPL-3 license. slay, legally 🎀

🌈 COMMAND LINE OPTIONS 🌈

a summary of options is included below. there are two. two options. she's low maintenance, we love her 💜

  • -h, --help — display help and exit. she tells you what's up, then she leaves. main character exit 🚪✨
  • -V, --version — show version information and exit. iykyk 📌

🦋 FILES 🦋

these are the lil files she keeps in your home directory. your business is her business 💅

  • ~/.lios_preferences.cfg — file with user configuration. all your settings, tucked away safe 🎀
  • ~/.lios_recent — file with user last output. receipts of what you did last, bestie 🧾
