v0.8.0

What's Changed

• Added scribe CLI command
  • If scribe.js is installed globally (npm i -g scribe.js-ocr), the scribe command can be used to process documents from the command line.
    • For example, scribe recognize analyst_report.png runs OCR on an image and saves the result as a PDF.
  • This feature is still experimental and command/argument names and features may change without warning.
• Added new intermediate data format .scribe for storing and loading document data.
  • Given OCR is computationally expensive, it is often desirable to save results for later use without losing data.
  • By saving results to .scribe files, results can be re-loaded later (e.g. to export with slightly different settings).
    • While several other output formats can be re-loaded later (notably .hocr and .pdf), only .scribe can be re-loaded without any data being lost in the export/import process.
    • .scribe files only contain the text layer; they do not contain embedded images or PDF files.
      • .scribe files can be loaded alongside image/PDF files to restore both image and text data.
