Syllabus Scanner

An app to scrape syllabus PDFs, extract information, and populate Notion pages.

About The Project

https://hientrn-syllabus-scanner.streamlit.app/

The Syllabus Scanner project comes from my love of keeping things organized and a wish to make school life a bit easier. Since I use Notion for notes, I often found myself manually putting syllabus info into these apps. The project aims to automate this process, making it simple to turn syllabus PDFs into organized events in Notion.

Built With

• Python
