## 📘 Overview
This project develops an **intelligent system for text extraction from scanned PDF documents**, combining **computer vision techniques** and **modern OCR models based on deep learning**.
The goal is to overcome the limitations of traditional OCR tools (e.g., Tesseract) when dealing with **low-quality, skewed, or noisy scanned documents**, particularly in **Spanish**.
---
## 🎯 Objectives
- Develop a **modular OCR pipeline** that processes scanned PDFs end-to-end.
- Compare classical OCR tools with **state-of-the-art deep learning approaches** (EasyOCR, TrOCR, CRNN).
- Evaluate performance using **Character Error Rate (CER)** and **Word Error Rate (WER)**.
- Provide a **CLI-based demonstration tool** and analysis module for automated evaluation.
