OCR Document Processor

Handle OCR-heavy inputs where text must be recovered from images or scanned pages.

Use This For

  • OCR on images and scanned PDFs
  • Searchable PDF export
  • Structured extraction to text, markdown, JSON, or HTML
  • Table extraction from scanned material
  • Receipt parsing and business card parsing

Workflow

  1. Decide whether plain OCR, structured extraction, or document-specific parsing is needed.
  2. Preprocess noisy inputs before extraction when skew, blur, or shadows are present.
  3. Use
    scripts/ocr_processor.py
    for core OCR tasks.
  4. Use the focused helpers when the input is specialized:
    • scripts/business_card_scanner.py
    • scripts/receipt_scanner.py
  5. Return confidence caveats when the source is low quality, rotated, handwritten, or multilingual.

Guardrails

  • Prefer explicit language selection when accuracy matters.
  • Do not claim fields are exact when OCR confidence is weak.
  • Route non-scanned digital PDFs to
    document-converter-suite
    instead of OCR by default.
