Dear elite programmers,
Does somebody of us have a little time? I would like to have a code, which will rotate image 90 degress left by using WIA. COuld someone create a function for Me? I have two possibility. Work with image variable, which will contain data produced by using image transfer WIA object function, or I can also use created .bmp file from harddisk as A file. File can be even saved on a separate name with rotated image. Reason? Build in OCR engine in to Windows 10 do not allow Me to scan two pages at once with my small scanner glass. And scanning page by page produces non pleasant results. So I need to scan two pages at once so I need to rotate 90 degress left. Thanks to MR just me and Malcev, it is possible to perform OCR on scanned image. And scanner can be used to scan many many pages with low memory footprint, no more than 38 MB. It depend on image resolution and on memory management of running script.
Please, if somebody of us would have a little time. Scanning books is one of thinks, which many visually impaired people can perform on their spare time. Professional OCR apps allocates much RAM and some professional OCR apps even do not support so many scanners so well like Autohotkey and WIA. So please, do not be too engry on Me. I can read books so efficiently thanks to Microsoft corporation, Autohotkey and help of mr Malcev and just me from Germany.
I believe, that there is some time in your daily deadline.
Thank you very very much for your help.
With The deepest possible appreciation and with The kindness regards.
