I figure the OP wants to operate his scanner from a script where he does something before scanning, does the scan, and does something afterward. He could even schedule the script. We don't know what optical scanner the OP has because he never bothered to mentioned. Maybe, for example, it has a multi-page feeder, employees are expected to slide in some sheet after finishing some task, and sometime during off-hours the scanner reads in the sheets to keep an electronic copy or to send to another office site. Could be the user is blind and its easier to setup a script with voice command to "run xyz script" than to fumble around in the dark trying to click on icons. The OP never explained why he wants a CLI to some OCR software. Put a thousand authors together to write up possible scenarios for the reason the OP wants this and you get up to a thousand different stories. |

He didn't actually say he wants OCR, though the fact that he used the word "documents" might _imply_ that. Eh, that's true, too. I didn't find online help (the user manual) for SimpleOCR. It if scans and then has you do the OCR then you could scan and just keep the raw input. Wonder why he doesn't use the software that came with the device. Guess it doesn't have a CLI. For scanning only (and again assuming the OP has an optical scanner he wants to use with hardcopy documents as opposed to software that scans through document files), there's VueScan (http://www.hamrick.com/); however, I don't know if it has a CLI. The OP could use AutoIt or AutoHotkey to script macros to manipulate the GUI programs. The other assumption I made is the OP wants freeware. The OP never mandated freeware-only suggestions or if he'd be willing to pay for the program. I didn't bother hunting down payware solutions. |
