Installation

Official package

Textractor is available on PyPI and can be installed with pip install amazon-textract-textractor. By default this will install the minimal version of textractor. The following extras can be used to add features:

• pdf (pip install amazon-textract-textractor[pdf]) includes pdf2image and enables PDF rasterization in Textractor. Note that this is not necessary to call Textract with a PDF file.

• torch (pip install amazon-textract-textractor[torch]) includes sentence_transformers for better word search and matching. This will work on CPU but be noticeably slower than non-machine learning based approaches.

• dev (pip install amazon-textract-textractor[dev]) includes all the dependencies above and everything else needed to test the code.

You can pick several extras by separating the labels with commas like this pip install amazon-textract-textractor[pdf,torch].
