#127 Auto-rotate to text

[nwdm]

It would be nice if gscan2pdf had an option to rotate any page when 90% or more (or a select-able threshold) of all detected text on the page is facing a different direction than vertical.

(snap to 90 degree rotations) (text that's off by 10 or so degrees should be considered already straight enough)

So you are suggesting first running the page through tesseract, and then rotating based on the tesseract output?

[nwdm]

as a feature that the user can disable or enable, yes.

i know it's computationally wasteful. but if the user has more cpu to burn than time in the day, it's a good trade.

I would also appreciate this request. My Windows-based Fujitsu software has this option and it would be nice to have it in Linux too.
