DocumentSimilarityChecker

Implementation of Cosine Document Distance algorithm.

Required Libraries

1. For Simple Pdfs: a) Import pdfToTxt from pdfReader b) pdfminer.six

2. For Scanned Pdfs(OCR to text): a) PIL b) wand c) pyocr d) tesseract-ocr e) ImageMagick 6.9.9-37 (magic using pip and software through official site) f) GhostScript

3. For Word Documents: a) python-docx

4. Additional Libraries: a) ntlk

Usage

1. Place the Documents in same directory as program

The output is not acccurate as it implements the cosine document distance algo (processing over word frequencies)
