Kyocera Address Book Tool

Kyocera Address Book tool or kyocera-ab-tool is an interractive CLI application written in Go to facilitate the creation and maintainence of Kyocera scanner address books and their OneTouchKeys (scanner shortcuts).

I wrote this tool to get a feel for Go, take advantage of Go's portability and the Go Gopher is also pretty cute. This tool creates XML files to be imported into Kyocera scanners via the Kyocera Net Viewer tool.

Usage

Download the release for your target OS and extract the folder to your desired location. Use cmd.exe and navigate to the extracted folder and run the executable.

Acknowledgements

This application uses these great libraries

• go-sqlite3 -- Go SQLite3 driver
• readline -- Pure Go implementation of Readline for user input
• table -- Go CLI table generator
• xgo -- CGO Cross Compiler

Known Issues

• Kyocera Net Viewer seems to only be for Windows but the there are binaries for Linux
• The tool has libraries that use CGO so the application cannot be compiled for Windows using the Go build tool so a cross-compilation tool is necessary.
• Running the application on Windows Powershell causes a weird graphical glitch but the application is fully functional.
