In the same vein, I'm building a tool [1] to extract tables from PDFs (no OCR yet) and spreadsheets. The end goal is to make it easy to combine data from multiple sources by joining tables and produce some useful reports out of it.
The PDF parsing is done by the excellent PDFplumber Python library [2], the web app is built with Elixir's Phoenix framework and it is all hosted on Fly.io.

- serjester 3y agoI recently built a similar tool except it’s configured to use some deep learning libraries for the table extraction. I’m excited to integrate unitable which has state of the art performance later this week. I built this because most of the basic layout detection libraries have terrible performance on anything non trivial. Deep learning is really the long term solution here. https://github.com/Filimoa/open-parse https://github.com/Filimoa/open-parse
- pants2 3y agoThis is extremely cool and exactly what I've been looking for. Looking forward to trying it out.
