Thanks! I have not tried anything other than English, not sure how good the LLMs are for that. Did you use Tesseract or Gemini?
Once the page structure is set up from the images (via the directory upload), you can upload new images for each page, but I didn't include an option to just create all the pages manually. It's a good idea. Going to add that...
coincidentally, posted this over on Show HN today. OCR workbench, AI OCR & editing tools for OCRing old / hard documents. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43976450. Tesseract works fine for modern text documents, but it fails badly on older docs (e.g. colonial american, etc)
I use Jekyll/Minimal Mistakes/Github pages for product blogs, where I just want to broadcast information or have it available for people to find through search, and where I need to own and brand the domain name itself.
I use Substack for a few projects where I want a stronger relationship with the audience - commenting, automatic email list building and distribution, and easy/attractive formatting. I just keep the Substack free, and don't worry about the domain name (x.substack.com) is fine.
Implementation seems a bit erratic, e.g. tried it on the Richard I page (Richard the Lionheart), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_I_of_England
and get most random modern dates of research articles, and virtually none of the basic dates of his life (birth death, etc).
Book Roulette is a Chrome Extension that shows you a new, hopefully interesting, book each time you open a tab. It also shows you a few recent articles from around the web that mention the book.
There are a few other Chrome extensions out there that do this. 100 Million Books, for instance, is very nice. The reason I don't care for it is the books are completely random, and often super esoteric.
Book Roulette uses the backed from the book recommendation engine The Hawaii Project which scans over a thousand book review websites to see what people are talking about. Book Roulette pulls from the more popular books on a given day so the results are likely to be topical some way.
Enjoy! (It's free, but the Amazon and Bookshop links are wired to my affiliate account so if you buy I do get a commission).
