SYNOPSIS

kooka [Qt-options] [KDE-options] [options]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the Kooka KDE Application. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

Kooka is a KDE application which provides access to scanner hardware using the SANE library.

Kooka helps you scan, save your image in the correct image format and perform Optical Character Recognition on it,using gocr, Joerg Schulenburg's and friends' Open Source ocr program.

Kooka is a KDE application that enables easy scanning using SANE libraries. Therefore, SANE the package must be installed to use Kooka. Clear and concise use was the focus of its development.

Character recognition is also provided by the built-in text recognition program gocr. Install gocr to use this functionality. After character recognition is complete, the recognized material can be opened in the text editor Kate with just one click, where you can edit the contents.

This program is part of the official KDE graphics module.
