voortwis/ocrservice repository overview

⁠OCRService - Tesseract in Docker

Allows upload of an image for OCR using Tesseract and deployed using Docker. This uses Flask, a light weight web server framework - but for development purposes only. OpenCV is used to reduce noise in the image for better processing by pytesseract. There will be a second pipeline that will use unpaper.
