How do I save image produced by asciiview?

When I run command asciiview image.jpg I'm able to view image in the terminal and quit browser using q key. I've tried different ways to redirect the output of the asciiview image.jpg to the console output (stdout) or save in the file such as asciiview image.jpg > ascii_art.txt or asciiview -driver stdout image.jpg > ascii_art.txt but I didn't get a result as I'm expecting. In the first case, I had to manually press Ctrl+C to get a proper image in the text file, in the second case I didn't get anything meaningful that would resemble the picture. Have anyone ideas how I can save image produced by asciiview directly to file or display it in the console output without entering browser and having to press q key?
