milchdealer / doc-metaguesser

Converts PDF documents to Text (via OCR by converting PDF to JPG) and then tries to guess metadata about the documents.

doc-metaguesser

Tries to guess meta information of documents for storing that into a relational model. This is a personal project I use to improve searchability for documents I receive (digitally or physically+scanned).

I collect my documents in a NAS, which is where this project is running on.

It consists of two parts:

• pdf-to-text: This program converts PDFs to text, by converting them to images and then using OCR to read the contents into a TXT
• txt-metaguesser: This program reads textfiles and tries to make educated guesses about meta information

Additionally there is a bash script controlling the whole process, in case you want to run it all together (like me).
