[ArunMishra1]

Hi,
I was wondering if you can share some information how to run the project or get started with it? This way atleast It will help to understand whats and how its happening.

sure why not!
I have already listed all the requirement in README. Install and follow the instructions.

Basically, This project is done in two parts:

1. Making image - we have to process an image and we give to OCR library so it can recognize accurately. Somehow if we are able to process an image in such a way so it will the best input for OCR library so our half task is done. Now

2. Process the text - actually, this text which is an output of OCR library. Now we will process this text so we can get some meaningful information.

then we will represent out output that is up to us how we want to generate our result(I mean our output format)

Hi Dilip,

Thanks for the explanation provided above.

But I am having an issue running the docker. I have already created an image through this command:
docker build -t shantanuo/mypancard .
However, the next command for running the container in Windows is failing:
docker run -i --rm -v "$(pwd)":/home/ /home/tpan.py /home/mandakini.jpg
I have inserted mandakini.jpg as a PAN card in the project home folder already.

Could you please provide the steps to run the container with the above parameters?

In your readme file you write
python file_name.py [input image] to run the code. However there is no file_name.py file in the repo. This is certainly wrong. Please provide correct instructions.
