System Dependencies 🔧

• This project uses Tesseract OCR (via pytesseract) to extract text from images and scanned PDFs.
• On Debian/Ubuntu you can install it with:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y tesseract-ocr libtesseract-dev tesseract-ocr-eng

• Verify installation with:

which tesseract && tesseract --version

Configuration 💡

• You can set the TESSERACT_CMD environment variable if Tesseract is installed in a custom location, otherwise the app defaults to /usr/bin/tesseract.
• For local development, add a .env file in bc/ (or set environment variables in your shell):

TESSERACT_CMD=/usr/bin/tesseract
GOOGLE_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
JWT_SECRET=your_jwt_secret_here
MONGO_URI=your_mongo_uri_here

Then install Python dependencies and run the app:

cd bc
pip install -r requirements.txt
python app.py
