This is the source code for a helper bot, making attempts at transcribing content as it is posted to the subreddit /r/TranscribersOfReddit, a community dedicated to transcribing images, audio, and video. It acts under the username "/u/transcribot".
This bot is still in training and might not be able to recognize everything it attempts. Some transcriptions might be complete trash, but the hope is that it will be a start to a more legitimate, volunteer-written transcription.
NOTE:
This code is not complete. The praw.ini file is required to run the bots and contains information such as the useragents and certain secrets. It is built for Python 3.8.
If wanting to install from source, clone the repo, install poetry, and run poetry install:
$ git clone git@github.com:GrafeasGroup/tor_ocr.git ./tor_ocr
$ cd ./tor_ocr
$ pip install poetry
$ poetry install
- Ask Blossom for posts that have an OCR transcription that hasn't been posted yet
- Post OCR-ed content to post on /r/TranscribersOfReddit in 9000 character chunks, replying to previous comment when over 9000 characters
$ ./tor_ocr.pyz
