Using tesseract-ocr #3.02.02.

The basic usage of tesseract is

tesseract sourc.png result

and result.txt is generated. To get the result text, I have to cat this file.

Is there any options to dump the result in stdout?

The solution is:

tesseract input.jpg stdout

But you need at least version 3.03
