OCR & Document Extraction

★★★★★

Extract text from PDFs and scanned documents using PyMuPDF (text PDFs) and marker-pdf (scanned/image PDFs with OCR).

skill_view("ocr-and-documents")

📖 Guide

Load with skill_view("ocr-and-documents"). Uses pymupdf for text-based PDFs (fast) and marker-pdf for scanned documents (slower, OCR-based).

🔧 How To

For text PDFs: pymupdf extract text per page. For scanned: marker-pdf with OCR. The skill detects PDF type and chooses the optimal extraction method. Output as clean text or markdown.

⚠️ Pitfalls

OCR quality depends on scan resolution (300+ DPI recommended). Handwritten text has lower accuracy. Very long documents may hit processing time limits.
