0001 Kooka 0002 ===== 0003 0004 Kooka is a raster image scan program for the KDE system. 0005 0006 PLEASE READ THE FILE "WARNING" FIRST ! 0007 0008 It uses the SANE-lib (http://www.sane-project.org/) and the 0009 KScan-library which is a KDE module for scanner access. 0010 0011 KScan and Kooka are under construction. Don't expect everything to work 0012 fine. If you want to help, please send patches to freitag@suse.de. 0013 0014 Features: 0015 ========= 0016 0017 Kooka's main features are: 0018 0019 Scanner Support using SANE: 0020 - Scanner support using SANE. Kooka _DOES_NOT_ support all features that SANE 0021 and its backends offer. It takes a small subset of the available options. 0022 - Kooka offers a GUI to change the most important scanner options like resolution, 0023 mode, threshold etc. These options are generated on the fly, depending on the 0024 scanner capabilities. 0025 - Kooka offers a preview-function and the user can select the scan area interactively 0026 or automatically. 0027 0028 Image Storage: 0029 - Kooka provides an assistant to save your acquired images. 0030 - Filenames are generated automatically to support multiple scans. 0031 - Kooka manages the scanned images in a tree view where the user can delete and 0032 export images. 0033 0034 Image Manipulation: 0035 - Kooka provides basic image manipulation functions like rotation, mirroring. 0036 - Cut images to fit size. 0037 0038 Image Viewing: 0039 - Scanned images can be viewed by clicking them in the tree view. 0040 - The viewer has a zoom function. 0041 0042 OCR: 0043 - Kooka supports Joerg Schulenburg's gocr, an open source program 0044 for optical character recognition (OCR). Kooka starts the OCR program 0045 and displays its output. Best results with bw-images scanned with ~150 DPI 0046 - Support for the commercial OCR/ICR package KADMOS of the reRecognition 0047 GmbH Kreuzlingen. Please read README.KADMOS for more information. 0048 0049 Problems: 0050 ========= 0051 0052 * Kooka does not yet support all options SANE offers. That will 0053 improve in the future. However, I don't know if it makes sense to 0054 support all, even not very common options, some scanners offer. Lets 0055 see what is necessary and makes sense for the purpose of Kooka. 0056 0057 * Kooka does not yet have a strategy for very large images :(. It uses 0058 the Qt QImage/QPixmap as is. On some displays, that causes problems. 0059 0060 * Automatic document feeder (ADF) support is not yet working correctly. 0061 0062 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 0063 Klaas Freitag <freitag@suse.de> 0064 0065 $Id$ 0066
