pages to be recognised. This is something which will be fixed in due course.

+Local operation
+
+While bookpipeline was built with cloud based operation in mind, there is also
+a local mode that can be used to run OCR jobs from a single computer, with all
+the benefits of preprocessing, choosing the best threshold for each image,
+graph creation and so on that the pipeline provides.
+
+You can use this by passing the '-c local' flag to the core bookpipeline
+commands. Here is a simple example run:
+
+ booktopipeline -c local MyBook
+ bookpipeline -v -c local # run until MyBook has finished processing
+ getpipelinebook -c local MyBook
+
+Note that the local mode is not as well tested as the core cloud modes; please
+report any bugs you find with it.
