[Mayan EDMS: 2231] How can I add the date from a receipt as a piece of metadata?

[David Reagan]

If I scan a receipt, I'd like to pull the date from it and save that
information as a piece of metadata. How would I go about doing that?

On the metadata add/edit screen, /metadata/setup/type/1/edit/, is there a
way to send the ocr data through a filter using Django's templating
language?

Hi David,
with the document_analyzer extension you are able analyze ocr data based on
regex and store the result. Based in the result you can setup indexes.

Please use the document_analyzer from my repository:

https://gitlab.com/startmat/document_analyzer

@Roberto: Please update the mayan/document_analyzer for
startmat/document_analyzer. I did an update that the document_analyzer is
working with django 1.10 and the latest mayan version.

i've been wanting to do something similar for months. adding ocr data as a
document name. in fact the whole kickstarter was dedicated to zone
ocr...sadly it failed to hit 700$

i was unable to figure out how to install your extension in the docker
containerized install of mayan.

any hints?

thank you for your work on the extension!

I ended up using my own dockerfile. See:
https://gitlab.com/jerrac/mayan-document_analyzer_not_working_example/blob/a546b38867ea56427ebf8bc761746c779603cc28/Dockerfile


document_analyzer is cloned to ./src/app_srcs/document_analyzer.

Ignore the rest of the repo, I just pushed it up so I could point to it in
an issue when asking for help.

Don't forget to modify the settings files like the document_analyzer readme
says to. I spent way to much time trying to figure out why the menu options
were not showing up due to forgetting that.

I also have yet to get the analyzer to add any metadata to my documents.
So, don't expect my example to be perfect.... :\

Good luck!
