ocrmypdf

We have hosted the application ocrmypdf in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about ocrmypdf:

OCRmyPDF adds an optical character recognition (OCR) text layer to scanned PDF files, allowing them to be searched. PDF is the best format for storing and exchanging scanned documents. Unfortunately, PDFs can be difficult to modify. OCRmyPDF makes it easy to apply image processing and OCR (recognized, searchable text) to existing PDFs.

Features:

• Generates a searchable PDF/A file from a regular PDF
• Places OCR text accurately below the image to ease copy / paste
• Keeps the exact resolution of the original embedded images
• When possible, inserts OCR information as a "lossless" operation without disrupting any other content
• Optimizes PDF images, often producing files smaller than the input file
• If requested, deskews and/or cleans the image before performing OCR
• Distributes work across all available CPU cores

Programming Language: Python.
