With optical character recognition (OCR), you can scan the contents of a document into a single file of editable text. This article, which focuses on scanning books, describes the steps you need to take to prepare pages for optimal OCR results, and compares various free OCR tools to determine which is the best at extracting the text.

INSPECT(1)                                                         User Commands                                                        INSPECT(1)

NAME

       inspect - Boost code inspection tool

SYNOPSIS

       inspect [-cvs] [-text] [-brief] [options...]

DESCRIPTION

       It  is  not  uncommon  for various common errors or guideline violations to creep into the Boost libraries. The inspect program detects and
       reports several common problems. It can be used to scan a proposed Boost submission to identify various failures.

       The program is run in the directory to be scanned for errors. Sub-directories are also included in the scan.

       If the first program argument is -cvs, only files and directories in the CVS tree of the current directory are scanned. Otherwise all files
       and sub-directories are included in the scan.

              Options:

       -license

       -copyright

       -crlf

       -link

       -path_name

       -tab

       -ascii

       -minmax

       -unnamed

              The default is to have all checks on; otherwise options specify desired checks.
