Can't get text extracted from JPGs

[mlevison]

I'm trying to use ScribeOCR in a home-use receipt scanner app. I thought to start, I should try using the command line to see what the text output looks like.

When I run:

scribe.js-ocr@0.8.0 scribe
cli/scribe.js extract /Users/marklevison/Documents/GitHub/expenses-app/source-images/w_49df2d0337aaa11950caa868bfc92163017c4ec9.jpg

I get an empty text file as the output.

When I run it on a PDF file, I get the expected text output.

I'm sure this is a PBKAC, I just can't figure out what it is.

Thanks for reporting. The CLI is half-baked compared to the JavaScript library interface due to having fewer users, so it's entirely possible that this is a bug. Will try and investigate/fix this week.

Thanks. The irony is that I was using the CLI to teach myself about the JavaScript library itself.
