Kramerius OCR getter

Just get the OCR from a book hosted at the Kramerius site. Experimental, Kramerius doesn't work half of the time 😿

Requirements

1. pip install -r requirements.txt

Setup

1. Rename .env-example to .env
2. Put in your cookie from Kramerius (works without it, but with it you can download dila nedostupná na trhu).

Getting a cookie from Kramerius

1. Log into ndk.cz with your account (for example university account)
2. Press right click on the page>Inspect
3. In the inspect window, select Storage
4. Select cookies
5. Copy the shibsession name into cookie name in env.
6. Copy the Value of shibsession into cookie Value in env.
7. Save

I don't know how long the cookie persist. Needs more testing

Usage

1. Download the Kramerius.py
2. Make it exacutable with chmod +x Kramerius.py
3. Run ./Kramerius.py "Link to your book"

You can specify the output file with --o flag

IF your download fails (kramerius is tricky) you get uuid returned on which it failed. Then, you can simply run ./Kramerius "link" --c "uuid" and it will continue the download into output_continueation.txt. Then run cat output_continuation.txt>>output.txt to join them.

That's it! Download what you need :)

Supported Kramerius instances

• -> ndk.cz
• -> Moravská zemská knihovna

Considered support for:

• -> kramerius.lib.cas.cz

Experimental

If you have gTTS downloaded (pip install gTTS), you can use the TTS.py to generate "quick" audiobook for your file.

1. Simply call TTS.py "nameofyourfile.txt" and in a few minutes (takes some time) you will have a listenable file.

LMK if anything breaks
