A local webserver giving you the ability to upload PDF files. Take the PDF and OCR it and/or dump the text.
First, download the repository.
On a Mac, install XCode:
xcode-select --install
Then, install ocrmypdf: https://github.com/jbarlow83/OCRmyPDF
Lastly, install the requirements (optional - or run the virtual enviornment):
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
source virtual/bin/activate
python3 app.py runserver
A new web page should open up in your default web browser.
The progress bar for OCRing documents is only visible in the Terminal for now. So, be patient while it works!
