vlt Launches "reproduce": A New Tool Challenging the Limits of Package Provenance
vlt's new "reproduce" tool verifies npm packages against their source code, outperforming traditional provenance adoption in the JavaScript ecosystem.
Bangla PDF OCR is a powerful tool that extracts Bengali text from PDF files. It's designed for simplicity and works on Windows, macOS, and Linux without any extra downloads or configurations.
Install the package:
pip install bangla-pdf-ocr
Run the setup command to install dependencies:
bangla-pdf-ocr-setup
Start using it right away!
From command line:
bangla-pdf-ocr your_file.pdf
In your Python script:
from bangla_pdf_ocr import process_pdf
text = process_pdf("your_file.pdf")
print(text)
That's it! No additional downloads or configurations needed.
Install the package from PyPI:
pip install bangla-pdf-ocr
Set up system dependencies:
bangla-pdf-ocr-setup
This command installs necessary dependencies based on your operating system:
tesseract-ocr
, poppler-utils
, and tesseract-ocr-ben
tesseract
, poppler
, and tesseract-lang
via HomebrewNote: On Windows, you may need to run the command prompt as administrator.
Verify the installation:
bangla-pdf-ocr-verify
This command checks if all required dependencies are properly installed and accessible.
Try a sample PDF extraction:
bangla-pdf-ocr
This command processes a sample Bengali PDF file included with the package, demonstrating the text extraction capabilities.
Basic usage:
bangla-pdf-ocr [input_pdf] [-o output_file] [-l language]
input_pdf
: Path to the input PDF file (optional, uses a sample PDF if not provided)-o, --output
: Specify the output file path (default: input filename with .txt
extension)-l, --language
: Specify the OCR language (default: 'ben' for Bengali)Process the default sample PDF:
bangla-pdf-ocr
Process a specific PDF:
bangla-pdf-ocr path/to/my_document.pdf
Specify an output file:
bangla-pdf-ocr path/to/my_document.pdf -o path/to/extracted_text.txt
You can also use Bangla PDF OCR as a module in your Python scripts. Here's an example:
from bangla_pdf_ocr import process_pdf
# Process a PDF file
input_pdf = "path/to/your/document.pdf"
output_file = "path/to/output/extracted_text.txt"
language = "ben" # Use "ben" for Bengali or other language codes as needed
extracted_text = process_pdf(input_pdf, output_file, language)
# The extracted text is now in the 'extracted_text' variable
# and has also been saved to the output file
print(f"Text extracted and saved to: {output_file}")
This allows you to integrate Bangla PDF OCR functionality directly into your Python projects, giving you more control over the OCR process and enabling you to use the extracted text in your applications.
If you encounter any issues:
Run the verification command:
bangla-pdf-ocr-verify
For Windows users:
