read-any-document (Canonizr)

Read any document using the Canonizr pipeline. Supports PDFs, images, office files, and more.

Using Canonizr#

You can pass documents to Canonizr via CLI.

sh

canonizr convert document.pdf

The output of the above command is a direct markdown transcript.

Failed attempts to convert a file return an error message. Depending on context you may wish to store the output in an adjacent .md file to avoid re-processing.

Supported file formats include PDFs, images (which will be transcribed), and office files.

Debugging#

You can check if the Canonizr pipeline is running by using the CLI:

sh

canonizr health

If the pipeline is not running then your user may not have started it. If you have docker permissions then you can start the service with:

sh

canonizr up

And stop it with:

sh

canonizr down

You can get a full JSON response with metadata (instead of just markdown) using the --json flag:

sh

canonizr convert --json document.pdf
