Pain Points (Public)

Authors and publishers often hold scanned multi-page manuscripts trapped in flat PDF formats where generic automated OCR produces line-break artifacts and fails to cleanly separate printed body copy from handwritten marginalia, forcing tedious manual re-keying into Microsoft Word.

Suggested Approach (Public)

Build an assisted document transcription pipeline using high-precision OCR (such as Azure AI Document Intelligence) coupled with python-docx to parse multi-page PDF manuscripts into cleanly structured Microsoft Word (.docx) files, automatically isolating handwritten annotations into distinct callouts for rapid human review.
