This Golang based project provides a microservice that offers a REST API and a Web view to convert PDF's and Images to Text, using Tesseract OCR scanner.

Just a proof-of-concept at this point. For future development it will be split in a multi-tier application architecture for better escalability - again for instructional purposes.

docker compose up --build

The service provides some minimalistic webviews to use the functionalities.

http://localhost:8080/web/img

http://localhost:8080/api/v1/documents/img/ocr-scan

• GhostScript: PDF interpreter used to convert PDF to a set of images (per page)
