Creating OCR

./pero_ocr -d <dir with images>

While ocr is running every event is logged into ocr_log.txt located in directory with images. Request ID is recorded on the begining of log, which may be used later for canceling ocr request or additional download of OCR and ALTO files. Default selected engine is engine with id 1, which should be: czech_old_printed, engine with id 2 should be: czech_old_handwritten.

Engine selection is done by -e switch in combination with -d switch.

All available engines can be printout by ./pero_ocr -engines.

Cancel OCR request

./pero_ocr -c <request id>

Additional download OCR and ALTO
