cocr -d "PATH_TO_TARGET_DIRECTORY" -k "YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY"

cocr -d "PATH_TO_TARGET_DIRECTORY" -k "YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY" -e "API_URI"

LanguageHints option can be overriden by -l or --language_hints option. The option value must be separated by commas if multiple values are given. e.g. -l "en, ja". The default value is empty.

cocr -d "PATH_TO_TARGET_DIRECTORY" -k "YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY" -l "en, ja"

Note: The following options are ignored when -b option is given.

When -c or --clipboard option is given, cOCR will copy the result to clipboard.
