Tombstone scanner - the idea is to help my dad find family names from photos of tombstones as part of a geneology/family tree project.

Present features:

  • Use AWS Rekognition to process/OCR files and dump output to JSON files locally on your PC/instance/server

Planned features:

  • allow for upload to S3 / present files from local PC to AWS Rekognition (recommend using aws cli to copy images to an s3 bucket)
  • dump resultant JSON output to S3 folder (done)
  • check if JSON output already exist for files processed (done)
  • Additionally I'd like to have a post OCR processing web app that allows a user to view the image, detected text output and then allow the user to relate fields and create a corrected file (to allow for the correction of misspelled detected words).

I'm sure there are loads of other ideas and processes to be considered - open to ideas and contribution!
