Script grabs some image data and runs imagemagick on it to extract some
chinese. Then tesseract OCR to get the actual unicode.
I then need to get it translated which also works and then display in
XTerm using cat.
I could cat << named_pipe but I was wondering if this was the only way?
Could I juggle fd's instead?
