archive-hocr-tools

This repository contains a python package to perform hOCR parsing efficiently, and it also contains a set of tools that can help perform operations on and analyse hOCR files.

• hocr-combine-stream: A tool to combine many hocr files into a big hocr file while keeping memory usage low. Used internally to combine tesseract per-page results into a larger hocr resulting file for an entire book.
• hocr-pagenumbers: A tool to find pagenumbers in multi-page hOCR documents
• hocr-fold-chars: A tool to transform a per-character hocr file into a per-word hocr file.
• pdf-to-hocr: A tool to take text content embedded in a PDF, and extract it as hOCR format.
• See more tools in the ./bin directory, not all have been documented yet.

The python library is called hocr.
