Document Parser

This project presents a Flask-based web application with a focus on user interface and optional AI integration. The primary command, make run, initiates the web server and provides access to the core functionalities. Advanced users can optionally enhance the application by training a model or updating it with the best version.

Running the Web Application

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• Flask
• Other dependencies in requirements.txt

Quick Start

To quickly start the web application:

git clone git@github.com:rlnsanz/document_parser.git
cd document_parser
make install
make run

This command sets up the environment and launches the Flask web server, ready for use.

Storing PDFs for Processing

For privacy and organization, this application processes PDFs and PNGs stored in a specific directory: private/. This directory should be created at the root of this repository (same dir that contains the Makefile), and it will be excluded from version control via .gitignore to ensure privacy and data security.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome. Please use standard fork-and-pull request workflow for any contributions.
