source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python -m uvicorn app:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8001 --workers 1

Docker

The Dockerfile installs Tesseract OCR so scanned PDFs and supported images can be processed inside the container.

API

• GET /health — health check and runtime capabilities
• POST /summarize — JSON body { "text": "...", "max_length": 150, "min_length": 30 }
• POST /extract-text — multipart file upload, returns extracted text and OCR metadata

Notes

• Model weights are downloaded on first run.
• OCR quality depends on scan quality and language support.
• Default OCR language is English (eng).
