This tool helps you quickly get the text and key details out of many different types of documents, like PDFs, Word files, and more. You feed it a document, and it gives you back the extracted text content and important information about the file (metadata). Anyone working with large collections of documents who needs to automatically pull out text for analysis or indexing will find this useful.
1,651 stars. Used by 3 other packages. Actively maintained with 21 commits in the last 30 days. Available on PyPI.
Use this if you need to programmatically extract text, metadata, or even translate content from various file formats for tasks like search indexing, data analysis, or content migration.
Not ideal if you only need to process a few documents manually or if you require advanced document layout reconstruction rather than just raw text and metadata.
