Direct file input #22

Closed ventsyv closed 8 years ago

ventsyv commented 9 years ago

Both tesseract and cuneiform allow the user to pass in a file name as input. I would like to add a function that will take a file name directly and pass it to the OCR engine, rather than having to create a temporary input file. Since I was not able to replace the file IO with memory pipe for tesseract, having a function like that will speed things up since it will eliminate the unnecessary file IO.

Actually, #30 should fix this problem as well for Tesseract.

ventsyv commented 8 years ago

Yes it will. I was thinking about implementing it, but did not have the time. Let me check how much of it I've implemented and I'll either merge it or close the issue. I might have some time this weekend to take on #30.

30 has been implemented. If there is still a problem for you (Cuneiform ?), please add a comment here and I will reopen this ticket.
