  • OCRmyPDF

    OCRmyPDF adds an OCR text layer to scanned PDF files, allowing them to be searched

    • ocrmypdf is what I’d normally suggest if you’re wanting to just apply OCR to an entire PDF of scanned pages.

  • tesserocr

    A Python wrapper for the tesseract-ocr API

    • If you have an electronically created pdf (not scanned) and you’re just wanting to run OCR on embedded images then you’ll want a pdf library that can extract the figure images for you, and then you can use tesserocr to run OCR on those images.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
