I updated the app to allow manual add/delete of pages. Then tap the page and do New Image to upload per page. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks! I have not tried anything other than English, not sure how good the LLMs are for that. Did you use Tesseract or Gemini?

Once the page structure is set up from the images (via the directory upload), you can upload new images for each page, but I didn't include an option to just create all the pages manually. It's a good idea. Going to add that...

coincidentally, posted this over on Show HN today. OCR workbench, AI OCR & editing tools for OCRing old / hard documents. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43976450. Tesseract works fine for modern text documents, but it fails badly on older docs (e.g. colonial american, etc)

Those of us "of a certain age" are grateful not to look at a screen of 30 videos, all of them illegible because our eyes are old :)
