OCR - PDF/image to markdown text, AI ready!
- 1PT
I've developed a Python API service that uses GPT-4o for OCR on PDFs. It features parallel processing and batch handling for improved performance. Not only does it convert PDF to markdown, but it also describes the images within the PDF using captions like `[Image: This picture shows 4 people waving]`. In testing with NASA's Apollo 17 flight documents, it successfully converted complex, multi-oriented pages into well-structured Markdown. The project is open-source and available on GitHub. Feedback is welcome.

I just realized you can now open a PDF document in Firefox and select text directly from scanned images embedded in the document (so basically transparently reliable doing OCR). It is also surprisingly reliable, only sometimes mistaking a "oh" for a "zero" in a long string of numbers. I neither know when this was introduced nor who added this feature, but from the bottom of my heart: thank you, thank you, thank you, you have made my daily life a lot easier. I also haven't really explored the limits of the feature and under what conditions it starts failing, but: in my daily workflow so far,…

Hey HN I built MarkdownConverters.com — a tool that converts any file format (PDF, DOCX, PPTX, HTML, or URL) into clean, structured Markdown. I often needed to prep documents, reports, or scraped pages for AI pipelines, documentation, or version control, but existing tools either broke formatting, lost code blocks, or produced unreadable Markdown. So I built something that focuses on: • Accurate structure (headings, lists, tables, code, links) • Consistent Markdown output ready for LLMs or docs • Fast, browser-based conversion with privacy-friendly processing • Support for multi-format and…
