  • OCRmyPDF

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

  • I looked into OCR a while ago for some hundreds of thousands of pages of PDF. All hosted offerings would end up costing quite a bit.

    After looking at options and few tests, I figured I'd use https://github.com/jbarlow83/OCRmyPDF

  • DeepSpeech

    DeepSpeech is an open source embedded (offline, on-device) speech-to-text engine which can run in real time on devices ranging from a Raspberry Pi 4 to high power GPU servers.

  • Should be able to use ffmpeg[0] to extract a single frame each second/keyframe (doubtful it's worth doing every single frame) and then pass it to tesseract.

    For speech to text.. if english, try mozilla's deepspeech? https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech

    Might be fun to try.

  • silero-models

    Silero Models: pre-trained speech-to-text, text-to-speech and text-enhancement models made embarrassingly simple

  • For speech-to-text extraction you can try Silero [1].

    Free software (AGPL-3.0 License), fast, highly accurate and extremely simple to deploy (I have no affiliation with them).

  • invoice2data

    Extract structured data from PDF invoices

  • It's not really working. Tried 2 English PDF invoices. Normal format. One came back empty, the other only had the amount right.

    I'm assuming they only trained on some specific documents (passport of country X, etc) and all others don't work.

    If someone processes the same document all the time, then my invoice2data project may work better and is open source. It's based on Regx, rather than machine learning: https://github.com/invoice-x/invoice2data
