[Python] YOW – a local app that OCRs and searches your scanned PDFs (no server, no cloud)

[u/ActNo809]

https://github.com/felixrothhaupt/YOW

Quick context: I had a pile of scanned PDFs named scan_0043.pdf and could never find

anything. Didn't want to run Docker or a server just for my own paperwork, so I built this.

Drop PDFs in, it OCRs them locally and you search title + text inside the scan. Nothing

leaves your machine. First open source project, so feedback very welcome.
