DocBox wiki

DocBox is a desktop app for Windows, macOS (Apple Silicon) and Linux that reads text from images and PDFs with open-source OCR models running on your own computer. There's no account and no cloud, unless you switch on the optional NVIDIA engine.

Download the latest version

Using DocBox

• Installing DocBox: which file to download, and getting past the Windows and macOS warnings.
• Choosing an engine: which OCR engine and model fits your documents and your computer.
• Troubleshooting and FAQ: startup problems, failed downloads, where your data lives.

The step-by-step tutorial with screenshots is in the README.

Working on DocBox

• Development setup: running the app from source, tests and lint.
• Releasing: how a new version is built and published.
• Roadmap: features we've planned but not built yet.
