Site-wide inbox ~~for~~ document ~~OCR~~. Upload a scan, confirm who it is and ~~what will~~ change, then Apply.

Site-wide inbox to '''enrich soldier profiles from document scans''' — forms, certificates, clippings, letters, and team rosters. Upload a scan, confirm '''who''' it is and '''which soldier page''' would change, review proposed infobox facts and a short biography draft, then Apply.

== How it works ==

# '''Log in''' (same as photo uploads).

# Upload a document. OCR runs on the ~~server; nothing~~ is written ~~yet~~.

# Upload a document (photo or PDF). Printed text uses the free local OCR engine. Check '''Handwriting / hard scan''' for cursive or faint pages — the service still runs a free print OCR first and only calls the paid LLM vision model when that preliminary read looks weak.

# '''~~Confirm~~''' ~~— for one soldier~~, ~~check~~ the ~~proposed~~ page ~~changes; for a roster~~, ~~match each person~~ (~~search by name/ASN~~), ~~Include the ones to update~~.

# '''Confirm''' who the document is about. Review proposes '''infobox''' fields and a '''biography draft''' woven from clear facts — not a raw OCR dump. Nothing is written until Apply.

# ~~Read~~ '''~~What~~ will ~~change~~'''~~, then~~ '''Apply selected''' (requires <code>ocr-reviewer</code> or admin). '''Discard''' ~~drops~~ the job.

# For '''multi-person IPW / team rosters''', you get a table: each person, the matched wiki page, and what would be written (usually Team membership). Names, ranks, and ASNs are matching cues until you approve.

# ~~Expert options~~ (raw OCR text, document type, gallery, overwrite) are under '''Advanced'''.

# Check '''Soldier pages that will be edited''' at the top. Use '''Preview Apply''' to see planned changes without writing. Then '''Apply selected''' (requires <code>ocr-reviewer</code> or admin), or '''Discard''' the job.

# Optional controls (raw OCR text, document type, gallery attach, overwrite, handwriting re-OCR) are under '''Advanced'''.

~~Profile shortcut:~~ soldier page → Gallery → '''OCR a document''' (pre-~~selects that soldier~~).

You can also start from a soldier page → Gallery → '''OCR a document to enrich this profile''' (that soldier is pre-selected).

== For reviewers ==

Administrators can grant the '''ocr-reviewer''' group. Other logged-in uploads stay in the queue until a reviewer applies or discards them.

See also [[Facebook OCR review]] (editors-only queue of Facebook-sourced document OCR candidates; review aid only — prefer this page for new uploads). Camp-wide training manuals belong on [[Training materials]], not here.
