#work #office #fediverse #library That's me from at #home where I'm finally getting half decent upload speeds. The local, #Pembroke, has no #wifi & the #park has no #benches. Go figure. The 'office' is #Haverfordwest . A beautiful working space! Crap #photocopier though! n.b. The #british and #ucl libraries spoilt me !

But what about my initial plan to turn my #documentcamera into a #scanner and #photocopier ?
Initially, I was frustrated because I expected it meant hacking #scanservjs which would be a rocky road for me.
Instead, I did the following:
- using #ustreamer I created a live stream from document camera. Of course, I created a systemd service
- with some help from chatGPT I set up a simple web GUI with three buttons:
* Download current image
* Download as PDF (with text recognition)
* Print

- have a local #printer accessible over the network or directly attached to the #raspberrypi
- #imagemagick to convert the scanned image
- a new pipepline for scanservjs (similar to mine above) added to /etc/scanservjs/config.local.js
the mother of all photocopiers - the #Xerox 1385 photo copier ...
