Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

a11ycat-ocr

OCR PDF documents in Node.js 🐱

Dependencies

Optional:

This is only needed if you are testing out the tess method on the OCR class. This is much faster than the recognize method on the OCR class since it uses tesseract.js, but yeilds less information.

IMPORTANT: a11ycat-ocr expects the ImageMagick tools to be availabe in $PATH. If you are testing the tess method on the OCR class, then tesseract must also be in $PATH

Quick Start

  1. Build the project from the repository
git clone https://github.com/devnoot/a11ycat-ocr.git a11ycat-ocr
cd a11ycat-ocr
npm install
npm build
  1. Include the OCR class in your project
const { A11yCat } = require('../../dist/index')
const { resolve } = require('path')

const ocr = new A11yCat.OCR()

async function main() {

    try {

        // Set the path to the pdf you want to OCR
        const pdfPath = '/path/to/my.pdf'

        // Set a destination directory for the pdf images
        const destinationDir = resolve(process.cwd() + '/tmp')

        // Convert a pdf to a series of images
        const generatedImages = await ocr.convertPdfToImages(pdfPath, destinationDir) 

        // Run OCR on one of the generated images
        const textFile = await ocr.tess(generatedImages[0])

    } catch (error) {
        throw error
    }

}

main()

Tests

Tests are located in test/spec. Tests should use data from test/data/images and test/data/pdfs

Because there are some large PDFs in the test dataset, this can take a very long time depending on the host computer.
