DocuForge: Local-First Document Processing Engine
OCR-driven document management suite that converts scanned PDFs into searchable files using Tesseract and Ghostscript, with chunked processing for efficiency and complete local data privacy.
Overview
DocuForge is a high-performance, local-first document processing engine that transforms scanned PDFs into searchable files using OCR. The project solves the problem of extracting usable data from static, non-selectable documents while ensuring complete data privacy by keeping all processing on-device.
The system integrates Tesseract OCR and Ghostscript, combining accuracy with robust file handling. Its chunked processing architecture allows efficient handling of large documents by optimizing memory and CPU usage.
