Programmatic Interface
To submit your image programmatically, you can simply POST to this URL; the image should be a parameter named "file". Also you must set "curl=1". Optionally you can add "bin=1" and "pageseg=1" for binarization and page segmentation of the image.From the command line, you can do this using:
curl -D header.out -F 'file=@input.png;type=image/png' -F curl=1 http://demo.iupr.org/cgi-bin/upload.cgi > output.html
You can also do this easily using the HTTP implementation in your favorite programming language (C#, Python, Java, Perl, etc.).
