It there a way to simply call kraken recognizer from code?

[dantetemplar]

I would like to call kraken recognition from code and get hocr. However, just calling kraken --hocr -i image.png image.txt binarize segment ocr --reorder will initialize model on each image recognition. Also it will create file when I need pipe.

Kraken code with click is too tricky for reverse-engineering.

The API tutorial explains how to do it. It's fairly straightforward.
