When I was putting together the pitchdeck for our startup I wanted to search for slides to learn from - but I was looking for specific sections or types of startups for slide decks. I had to open tens of decks and scroll through them which sucked. So I decided to make a tool that would allow me to search inside the decks more easily. Happy to answer questions
- lming 4y agoNice project for looking for pitchdeck references. Thanks for building and sharing it. I am curious about the tech behind it - are you doing OCR on images? The search is very responsive - it's definitely not elastic search, curious what index/search system are you using?
- gnabgib 4y agoYou might enjoy the blog post[0] (150GB of images, tesseract OCR, 2GB of data, Algolia for search). There's a github repo too[1] [0]: https://www.alashiban.com/search-the-deck/ https://www.alashiban.com/search-the-deck/ [1]: https://github.com/klothoplatform/klotho https://github.com/klothoplatform/klotho
- ashiban 4y agoGlad it helps! There are 4 key steps that I took: - Upscaling (using Upscayl[0]) - OCR (using tesseract[1]) - Indexing (using Algolia[2]) - Scaling the processing and running on AWS (Klotho[3] - our startup) I wrote a more in-depth blog post about it[4] [0] https://github.com/upscayl/upscayl https://github.com/upscayl/upscayl [1] https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract [2] https://www.algolia.com/ https://www.algolia.com/ [3] https://github.com/KlothoPlatform/klotho https://github.com/KlothoPlatform/klotho [4] https://www.alashiban.com/search-the-deck/ https://www.alashiban.com/search-the-deck/
