daiR: OCR with Google Document AI in R
daiR is an R package for Google Document AI, a powerful server-based OCR service with support for over 60 languages. The package provides an interface for the Document AI API and comes with additional tools for output file parsing and text reconstruction. See the daiR website and this journal article for more details.
Use
Quick OCR short documents:
```R
NOT RUN
library(daiR) gettext(daisync("file.pdf")) ```
Turn images of tables into R dataframes:
```R
NOT RUN:
Assumes a default processor of type "FORMPARSERPROCESSOR"
gettables(daisync("file.pdf")) ```
Draw bounding boxes on the source image:
```R
NOT RUN:
drawblocks(daisync("file.pdf")) ```
Requirements
Google Document AI is a paid service that requires a Google Cloud account and a Google Storage bucket. I recommend using Mark Edmondson's googleCloudStorageR package in combination with daiR.
Installation
Install daiR from CRAN:
R
install.packages("daiR")
Or install the latest development version from Github:
R
devtools::install_github("hegghammer/daiR")
