I am a university student, and again I need to buy textbooks. This quarter has more than 20 books for classes. Normally this would not be so important as I just copied and pasted ISBN into Amazon. ISBNs, however, are converted to an image on my school book site. All I want to do is get the ISBNs in a string, so I don't need to enter them manually. I used GOCR to convert images to text, but I want to use it with a Ruby script so that I can automate the process and do the same for my classmates.
I can go to the site. How to save an image to a file on my computer (by running UBUNTU), convert the image using GOCR, and finally save it to a file so that I can then access them again using my Ruby script?
