Readme for sscan-0.2
[back to package description]sscan -- Sean's scanner
Synopsis
sscan is a UI for scanning multi-page documents using the scanimage(1) command and a flatbed scanner.
I wrote sscan because I often need to scan multi-page documents on my GNU/Linux system, and I have only a flatbed scanner, without an ADF.
sscan was originally a crude Python script. Now it is a somewhat more robust Haskell program, relying on the Brick library.
Screenshot
Installation
- Ensure that your scanner has SANE support.
- Install prerequisite utilities:
apt-get install ocrmypdf pdftk sane-utils haskell-stack imagemagick
- Use stack to build and install sscan:
stack install sscan
Note that stack will automatically download and install the various Haskell dependencies of sscan -- unfortunately, these are not yet likely to all be installable from your distribution's mirrors.
Configuration
sscan does not yet have a configuration file. If it did, this could be used to configure the available presets, the default settings on startup, and the output directory. Patches welcome.
Usage
Ensure that ~/.local/bin is in your PATH environment variable.
Then open a terminal, run sscan and follow the on-screen
instructions. If you can't see all the key bindings, you will need to
increase the size of your terminal.
