NAME¶

scantailor-cli - a post-processing tool for scanned pages

SYNOPSIS¶

scantailor-cli [options] <images|directory|-> <output_directory>
scantailor-cli [options] <project_file> [output_directory]

DESCRIPTION¶

scantailor is a post-processing tool for scanned pages. It performs operations such as page splitting, deskewing, adding/removing borders, and others. You give it raw scans, and you get pages ready to be printed or assembled into a PDF or DJVU file. Scanning, optical character recognition, and assembling multi-page documents are out of scope of this project.

File names are collected from arguments, input directory, or stdin (-). If output_directory is specified as the last argument, it overwrites the one in the project file.
