ICIJ Extract

Cross-platform CLI for parallelized, distributed content extraction and OCR.

Servicefree

Extract is an open-source command-line tool for parallelized, distributed extraction of text and metadata from large sets of heterogeneous files such as PDFs, emails, office documents, and scanned images, including OCR. It uses a Redis-backed queue to distribute work across machines and writes results to Solr, plain text, or standard output. It was built by ICIJ and used in investigations like the Panama Papers to process millions of documents at scale.
