-# 🔍 DualTextOCRFusion
-
-**DualTextOCRFusion** is a web-based Optical Character Recognition (OCR) application that allows users to upload images containing both Hindi and English text, extract the text, and search for keywords within the extracted text. The app uses advanced models like **ColPali’s Byaldi + Qwen2-VL** or **General OCR Theory (GOT)** for multilingual text extraction.
-
-## Features
-
-- **Multilingual OCR**: Extract text from images containing both **Hindi** and **English**.
-- **Keyword Search**: Search for specific keywords in the extracted text.
-- **User-Friendly Interface**: Simple, intuitive interface for easy image uploading and searching.
-- **Deployed Online**: Accessible through a live URL for easy use.
-
-## Technologies Used
-
-- **Python**: Backend logic.
-- **Streamlit**: For building the web interface.
-- **Huggingface Transformers**: For integrating OCR models (Qwen2-VL or GOT).
-- **PyTorch**: For deep learning inference.
-- **Pytesseract**: Optional OCR engine.
-- **OpenCV**: For image preprocessing.

-## How to Run Locally
-
-### Prerequisites
-
-- Python 3.8 or above installed on your machine.
-- Tesseract installed for using `pytesseract` (optional if using Huggingface models). You can download Tesseract from [here](https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract).
-
-### Steps
-
-1. **Clone the Repository**:
-
-   ```bash
-   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/dual-text-ocr-fusion.git
-   cd dual-text-ocr-fusion
-   ```
-
-2. **Install Dependencies**:
-
-   Make sure you have the required dependencies by running the following:
-
-   ```bash
-   pip install -r requirements.txt
-   ```
-
-3. **Run the Application**:
-
-   Start the Streamlit app by running the following command:
-
-   ```bash
-   streamlit run app.py
-   ```
-
-4. **Open the App**:
-
-   Once the server starts, the app will be available in your browser at:
-
-   ```
-   http://localhost:8501
-   ```
-
-### Usage
-
-1. **Upload an Image**: Upload an image containing Hindi and English text in formats like JPG, JPEG, or PNG.
-2. **View Extracted Text**: The app will extract and display the text from the image.
-3. **Search for Keywords**: Enter any keyword to search within the extracted text.
-
-## Deployment
-
-The app is deployed on **Streamlit Sharing** and can be accessed via the live URL:
-
-**[Live Application](https://your-app-link.streamlit.app)**
-
-## Customization
-
-### Changing the OCR Model
-
-By default, the app uses the **Qwen2-VL** model, but you can switch to the **General OCR Theory (GOT)** model by editing the `ocr.py` file.
-
-- **For Qwen2-VL**:
-  
-  ```python
-  from ocr import extract_text_byaldi
-  ```
-
-- **For General OCR Theory (GOT)**:
-  
-  ```python
-  from ocr import extract_text_got
-  ```
-
-### Custom UI Theme
-
-You can customize the look and feel of the application by modifying the `.streamlit/config.toml` file. Adjust colors, fonts, and layout options to suit your preferences.
-
-## Example Images
-
-Here are some sample images you can use to test the OCR functionality:
-
-1. **Sample 1**: A document with mixed Hindi and English text.
-2. **Sample 2**: An image with only Hindi text for multilingual OCR testing.
