Nice to see that. I sought for free implementation of MRC and apparently here it is. Unfortunately, I was not able to test the program due to some dependency issues. Nevertheless, it looks very promising. Thank you for sharing info about this software with me.

Well, actually I am not able to say, what is wrong. I expect that my lack of abilities is reason for that.
When I try to install 'archive-hocr-tools' I have this error message:
Code: Select all
$ python3 -m pip install setup.py
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement setup.py (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for setup.py
Remaining requirements seem to be satisfied, but I am still no sure. Especially, I have Cython-0.29.24, whereas apparently the required version is 0.29.23.
Could you please provide a step-by-step install instruction for less advanced users? It would be really appreciated.
Many thanks for your interest and help.

The package is installable via pip now, via "pip install archive-pdf-tools"
