Loading document OCR tools… (requires login and the OCR review service).
This page is the site-wide inbox for document OCR: upload a scan (image or PDF), review proposed facts, then apply only what you confirm — to one soldier or to many from the same document (team rosters, transfer orders, and similar lists).
How it works
- Log in (same as photo uploads).
- Upload a document below. OCR runs on the server; nothing is written to a soldier page yet.
- For a single person: review proposed facts (ASN, class, dates, rank, biography lines) and confirm the soldier page title.
- For a multi-person roster: review is grouped by person. Match each name (ASN when possible), use Select all matched / Deselect unresolved, then Apply selected to all matched so team membership (and any other checked fields) update every matched profile in one pass. Gallery attach is off by default for multi-person uploads.
- Save draft keeps your choices. Discard drops the job. Apply requires the
ocr-reviewergroup or an administrator.
You can also start from a soldier page (Gallery → Contribute files → OCR a document); that path pre-selects that profile as the target (single-person mode).
Privacy
- Do not upload Social Security numbers or private contact details for living people.
- Staging files are kept for review and are not published until Apply (when the file may be added to the soldier Gallery).
- See About the data and Contribute for general editing and source guidance.
For reviewers
Administrators can grant the ocr-reviewer group so trusted editors can Apply. Uploads from other logged-in users remain in the queue until a reviewer applies or discards them.
