## About ##
Scan Tailor is an interactive post-processing tool for scanned pages.
It performs operations such as:
- [page splitting](https://github.com/scantailor/scantailor/wiki/Split-Pages),
- [deskewing](https://github.com/scantailor/scantailor/wiki/Deskew),
- [adding/removing borders](https://github.com/scantailor/scantailor/wiki/Page-Layout),
- [selecting content](https://github.com/scantailor/scantailor/wiki/Select-Content)
- ... and others.
You give it raw scans, and you get pages ready to be printed or assembled into a PDF
or [DJVU](http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/djvu.html) file. Scanning, optical character recognition,
and assembling multi-page documents are out of scope of this project.Scan Tailor is [Free Software](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) (which is more than just freeware).
Itβs written in C++ with Qt and released under the General Public License version 3.
We develop both Windows and GNU/Linux versions.## History and Future
This project started in late 2007 and by mid 2010 it reached production quality.
In 2014, the original developer [Joseph Artsimovich](https://github.com/Tulon) stepped aside,
and [Nate Craun](https://natecraun.net/) ([@ncraun](https://github.com/ncraun))
took over as the [new maintainer](http://scantailor.org/2014/04/06/new-maintainer.html).For information on contributing and the longstanding plan for the project, please see the
[Roadmap](https://github.com/scantailor/scantailor/wiki/Roadmap-1.0) wiki entry.

- [Prolog for Programmers](https://sites.google.com/site/prologforprogrammers/the-book). The 47.3MB pdf is the original,
and the 3.1MB pdf is after using Scan Tailor. The OCR, Chapter Indexing, JBIG2 compression, and PDF Binding were not
done with Scan Tailor, but all of the scanned image cleanup was. [[1](scantailor.org/downloads/)]
