Optical Character Recognition

  • MASSIVE effort to improve OCR, which was ultimately successful. OCR text is now embedded into a new .pdf, which is saved to same directory as the original .pdf instead of creating a .txt file.
  • Temporarily removed the GOT_OCR backend due to excessive VRAM usage – may be reinstated later upon further testing.

General Improvements

  • Updated scraping libraries across the board.
  • Updated all dependencies.
  • Added new AMD GPUs to the GPU comparison chart.
  • Improved the metrics bar to run smoother.
  • Updated Jeeves knowledge-base

Installation

  • Just follow the installation instructions on the github readme.
