+## Rescribe tool for 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, PDF creation, and so on that the pipeline provides.
+
+Several of the commands accept a `-c local` flag for local operation, but now

+much simpler for people just wanting to do some OCR on their local computer.

+More information about this, including links to prebuilt executables, can be
