Non-interactive use of the server

WeOCR servers can be used non-interactively as well as via an HTML page. To do so, you just call the CGI program directly using a web tool.

Example:
  $ curl -F userfile=@Image_File_Name \
         -F outputencoding="utf-8" \
         -F outputformat="txt" \
         http://Server_Address/cgi-bin/weocr/submit_e1.cgi > result.txt

You'll probably need to use --max-time and --connect-timeout options as well to avoid undesirable blockings of the process.

If you specify outputformat="txt", the first line of the output data is used as the status line. The first line will be blank upon successful recognition.
