# Project Progress: HOCR Processing Tool

## 1. What Works

*   **Initial Memory Bank Setup:** The core documentation structure (projectbrief, productContext, activeContext, systemPatterns, techContext, progress) has been established in the `memory-bank/` directory.

## 2. What's Left to Build / Verify

*   **Verify Core Functionality:** Need to run the application and test its basic OCR capabilities on sample images and PDFs.
*   **Confirm Technical Assumptions:** Validate the libraries and dependencies outlined in `techContext.md` by checking `requirements.txt` and relevant code sections.
*   **Understand Configuration:** Investigate `config.py` to determine how users configure the pipeline.
*   **Test UI Layer:** If `app.py` provides a UI (Streamlit/Flask), test its usability and connection to the backend pipeline.
*   **Review Existing Code:** Deeper dive into the modules (`preprocessing.py`, `ocr_processing.py`, etc.) to understand implementation details.
*   **Assess Test Coverage:** Examine the tests in `testing/` to understand what is currently covered.
*   **Address Specific User Goals:** Once the baseline is understood, tackle any specific feature requests, bug fixes, or improvements requested by the user.

## 3. Current Status

*   **Baseline Established (Memory Bank):** As of 2025-05-05, the initial Memory Bank structure is in place.
*   **Code Functionality:** The operational status of the HOCR tool itself is yet to be verified.

## 4. Known Issues / Bugs

*   *(None identified yet. To be populated as testing and development proceed.)*

## 5. Evolution of Project Decisions (Decision Log)

*   **2025-05-05:** Decided to create the standard Cline Memory Bank structure for the `hocr` project upon user request to check configuration. Found no existing `memory-bank` directory and proceeded with creation of core files.
