How to setup the code

Step-1: Setup Envirnoment

Create a python envirnoment preferrably 3.9.0 and install all the requirements as stated in requirements.txt. Using the following command

pip install -r requirements.txt

Step-2: Install Tesseract

This is a required dependancy to perform the OCR using Tesseract.

Download and install tesseract-OCR from the following link

https://digi.bib.uni-mannheim.de/tesseract/tesseract-ocr-w64-setup-5.3.3.20231005.exe

Step-3: Set path for Tesseract

Navigate to C://Program Files//Tesseract-OCR and add it to your system envirnoment variable.

Step-4: Install Poppler

Unzip the Release 23.11.0 folder and move the Poppler 23.11.0 folder to C://Program Files

Step-5: Set path for Poppler

Navigate to C:\Program Files\poppler-23.10.0\Library\bin copy the path and set it as the envirnoment variable.

Running the code

Navigate to the directory and run

python main.py

By default it will take a pdf from the data folder and perform OCR using both tesseract and easyocr you can customize this in the code.

Also a Speeach Recognition module is been integrated which runs after the OCR code. By default it accepts voice as input and does not accept a .mp3 or any other sort of audio file.

Examples

Refer the output folder to checkout the OCR extraction output. It is not very good as of now.
