This is the source code for a helper bot, making attempts at transcribing content as it is posted to the subreddit /r/TranscribersOfReddit, a community dedicated to transcribing images, audio, and video. It acts under the username "/u/transcribot".
This bot is still in training and might not be able to recognize everything it attempts. Some transcriptions might be complete trash, but the hope is that it will be a start to a more legitimate, volunteer-written transcription.
- Redis (tracking completed posts and queue system)
- ocr.space (OCR solution)
NOTE:
This code is not complete. The praw.ini file is required to run the bots and contains information such as the useragents and certain secrets. It is built for Python 3.6.
$ git clone https://github.com/GrafeasGroup/tor_ocr.git tor_ocr
$ cd tor_ocr/
$ pip install --process-dependency-links .
OR
$ pip install --process-dependency-links 'git+https://github.com/GrafeasGroup/tor_ocr.git@master#egg=tor_ocr-0'
Monitoring daemon (via Redis queue):
- Pull job (by post id) off of queue:
- Get image URL
- Use orc.space API on the image
- If OCR successful:
- Post OCR-ed content to post on /r/TranscribersOfReddit in 9000 character chunks, replying to previous comment when over 9000 characters
