What are the chances... This is exactly the idea from the latest edition of Unvalidated Ideas[0][1] I released this week.
Of course I imagined a different kinds of integrations but maybe this is a case of great minds thinking alike!

- jcuenod 4y agoWhat are the chances? I've just started my live beta of https://fixpdfs.com https://fixpdfs.com to convert pdfs of scanned documents/books into better "documents" with OCR, normalized margins, etc. (for better reading, searching, and highlighting)
- lhuser123 4y agoIt was my experience that OCRing scanned PDFs, would result in many small errors. For example “Alt” could be interpreted as “A|t”. Did you had those problems? How did you fixed it? What about other languages?
- jcuenod 4y agoI didn't build my own OCR models, in the beta I'm using tesseract but I'm going to use google or amazon when I start charging. There's no way to compete on OCR quality but I don't see other products automatically fixing doc scans, which is the value add I see my software really giving...
- heywhatupboys 4y agoyes, you obviously came up with the novel idea of PDF conversion!
- KeplerBoy 4y agoWith the small restriction that conversion from PDF is one of the few things pandoc does not do.
