Build a front end for OCRmyPDF (development suggestion)

[e42mercury]

I love that I can use this directly in Zotero, but it has few options and sometimes creates really huge files. A lot of the feature requests and errors people are asking about here have already been addressed by another program, OCRmyPDF. It is based on the same tesseract engine but also handles rotation, compression, languages... really an excellent program all around. Instead of rewriting a scaled-down version of the same program as a Zotero plugin, I'd suggest a plugin that is just a front end for OCRmyPDF. Just a window inside Zotero that would help you 1) install everything and 2) choose the many options in OCRmyPDF, described in its excellent documentation, while it runs in the background.

The only problem is that it's command line only. So it would definitely be a contribution to the use community if someone made it useable from a Zotero window. Or a standalone GUI. Just a suggestion.
