Don't expect everything to work +fine. If you want to help, please send patches to freitag@suse.de. + +Features: +========= + +Kooka's main features are: + +Scanner Support using SANE: +- Scanner support using SANE. Kooka _DOES_NOT_ support all features that SANE + and its backends offer. It takes a small subset of the available options. +- Kooka offers a GUI to change the most important scanner options like resolution, + mode, threshold etc. These options are generated on the fly, depending on the + scanner capabilities. +- Kooka offers a preview-function and the user can select the scan area interactively + or automatically. + +Image Storage: +- Kooka provides an assistant to save your acquired images. +- Filenames are generated automatically to support multiple scans. +- Kooka manages the scanned images in a tree view where the user can delete and + export images. + +Image Manipulation: +- Kooka provides basic image manipulation functions like rotation, mirroring. +- Cut images to fit size. + +Image Viewing: +- Scanned images can be viewed by clicking them in the tree view. +- The viewer has a zoom function. + +OCR: +- Kooka supports Joerg Schulenburg's gocr, an open source program + for optical character recognition (OCR). Kooka starts the OCR program + and displays its output. Best results with bw-images scanned with ~150 DPI +- Support for the commercial OCR/ICR package KADMOS of the reRecognition + GmbH Kreuzlingen. Please read README.KADMOS for more information. + +Problems: +========= + +* Kooka does not yet support all options SANE offers. That will +improve in the future. However, I don't know if it makes sense to +support all, even not very common options, some scanners offer. Lets +see what is necessary and makes sense for the purpose of Kooka. + +* Kooka does not yet have a strategy for very large images :(. It uses +the Qt QImage/QPixmap as is. On some displays, that causes problems. + +* Automatic document feeder (ADF) support is not yet working correctly. + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- +Klaas Freitag + +$Id$ + -- cgit v1.2.3
