OCRmyPDF: Add an OCR text layer to scanned PDF file

Briss

Http://www.tobias-elze.de/pdfsandwich/ has been my tool for years to OCR old research papers and books. It uses Tesseract and some other tools to get the job done. It's last in my workflow after using: Briss, a simple cross-platform application for cropping PDF files: https://sourceforge.net/projects/briss/ PDF Arranger to merge or split pdf documents and rotate, crop and rearrange their pages using an interactive and intuitive graphical interface: https://github.com/pdfarranger/pdfarranger.

I use OCRmyPDF on a regular basis to OCR journal articles my library sends me. I've found it works great on English but (with appropriate language packs installed) works poorly on Greek and Hebrew. It also makes no effort to understand the layout of pages (e.g., tables). The project is fantastic, though. I've often considered building a web frontend that cleans up PDFs and then OCRs them using OCRmyPDF. For cleaning, check out https://scantailor.org/.
