+# OCR Search with Mistral and Qdrant
+
+This notebook demonstrates how to use **Mistral OCR** to extract text from documents, embed with **FastEmbed**, and store it in **Qdrant** for semantic search.
+
+---
+
+## What It Does
+- Extracts text from scanned documents (PDFs, images) using Mistral OCR  
+- Creates embeddings of the recognized text  
+- Stores embeddings in Qdrant for scalable semantic search  
+- Lets you query with natural language and retrieve the most relevant passages  
+
+---
+
+## Credentials
+
+You’ll need credentials for both **Mistral** and **Qdrant**.
+
+### Qdrant Cloud
+1. Create a cluster at [Qdrant Cloud](https://cloud.qdrant.io)  
+2. Generate an API key in the cluster’s **API Keys** section  
+3. Export both the URL and the key:
+   ```bash
+   export QDRANT_URL="https://YOUR-CLUSTER-UUID.region.cloud.qdrant.io:6333"
+   export QDRANT_API_KEY="your_qdrant_key"
+   ```
+
+### Mistral
+1. Sign up at [Mistral](https://mistral.ai)  
+2. Create an API key in the console  
+3. Set it as an environment variable:
+   ```bash
+   export MISTRAL_API_KEY=your_mistral_key
+   ```
+---
+
+## Setup
+Install dependencies:
+```bash
+pip install mistralai qdrant-client python-dotenv
+```
+
+Optionally, create a `.env` file:
+```bash
+MISTRAL_API_KEY=your_mistral_key
+QDRANT_URL=your_qdrant_url
+QDRANT_API_KEY=your_qdrant_key   # optional for local
+```
+
+Run the notebook in this directory to see the full workflow.
