Custom OCR ?

[Janek Kozicki <ja...@wp.pl>]

Hello,

I have debian sarge and backported from testing spamassassin 3.1.7

For configuring it, I had only modified
file /etc/default/spamassassin, it has following content:

ENABLED=1
OPTIONS="--create-prefs --max-children 5 --helper-home-dir -s /var/log/spamd.log"
PIDFILE="/var/run/spamd.pid"
NICE="--nicelevel 15"

I want to try several different OCR programs to filter spam. Let's
say that I have written a script ~/bin/img2txt which takes as single
argument the file containing image and prints to stdout OCRed text.


Can you tell me how to painlessly tell spamassassin to call my script?

The best would be if it was an OPTION, so that I could for example say:

OPTIONS="--create-prefs --max-children 5 --helper-home-dir -s /var/log/spamd.log -ocr=/home/janek/bin/img2txt"


Then I will be able to focus my work on the content of ~/img2txt - a
work to experiment with all OCR programs available on the net. And
even experiment with my own neural networks...

Write a plugin.  See something like FuzzyOcr.
