Description

It looks like the only way to capture the output of amazon-textract is to redirect it into a file. Such as:

amazon-textract --input-document "s3://somebucket/2022-04-16-0010.jpg" --pretty-print LINES > 2022-04-16-0010.txt

Unfortunately, this is a problem on Windows because the default encoding is Windows 1252, not UTF-8. When trying to analyze the output using other tools, UTF-8 is often required.

Something like this would be very useful:

amazon-textract --input-document "s3://somebucket/2022-04-16-0010.jpg" --pretty-print LINES -output-document 2022-04-16-0010.txt

where the default output is UTF-8.
