I’m transcribing and translating a game development journal from the ’90s using AI and some automated validity checks.
Since the journal entries are bound to a physical book, the entries often wrap to the next column or page. So, I needed a quick way to stitch two captures together vertically. I didn’t want to deal with fiddly image processing, so I wrote a command-line tool that takes two images and appends them using ImageMagick.
I then created a shortcut and added it to the taskbar, and voilà—the captures are merged in two seconds.
