Nopaque was designed to be modular. Its workflow consists of a sequence
of services that can be applied at different starting and ending points.
This allows you to proceed with your work flexibly.
Each of these modules are implemented in a self-contained service, each of
which represents a step in the workflow. The services are coordinated in
such a way that they can be used consecutively. The order can either be

Nopaque was designed to be modular. Its modules are implemented in
self-contained <b>services</b>, each of which represents a step in the
workflow. The typical workflow involves using services one after another,
consecutively.
The typical workflow order can be taken from the listing of the
services in the left sidebar or from the nopaque manual (accessible via the pink
button in the upper right corner).
The services can also be applied at different starting and ending points,
which allows you to conduct your work flexibly.
All services are versioned, so the data generated with nopaque is always
reproducible.
<p>For all services, it is recommended to use the latest version (selected
in the drop-down menu on the service page) unless you need a model

<h4>File Setup</h4>
<p>
The <a href="{{ url_for('services.file_setup_pipeline') }}">File Setup Service</a> bundles image data, such as scans and photos,
together in a handy PDF file. To use this service, use the job form to
select the images to be bundled, choose the desired service version, and
specify a title and description. Please note that the service sorts the
images into the resulting PDF file based on the file names. So naming the
images correctly is of great importance. It has proven to be a good practice
to name the files according to the following scheme:
page-01.png, page-02.jpg, page-03.tiff, etc. In general, you can assume
specify a title and description.
Note that the File Setup service will sort the images based on their file name in
ascending order. It is thus important and highly recommended to name
them accordingly, for example:
page-01.png, page-02.jpg, page-03.tiff. Generally, you can assume
that the images will be sorted in the order in which the file explorer of
your operating system lists them when you view the files in a folder
sorted in ascending order by file name.

<h4>Optical Character Recognition (OCR)</h4>
<p>Coming soon...</p>
<p>
The <a href="{{ url_for('services.tesseract_ocr_pipeline') }}">Tesseract OCR Pipeline</a>
converts image data - like photos and scans - into text data, making them machine-readable.
This step enables you to proceed with the computational analysis of your documents.
To use this service, use the job form to select the file you want to convert, choose
the desired language model and service version, enter the title and description, and
submit your job. The results can be found and downloaded below, under "Inputs."

<h4>Corpus Analysis</h4>
<p>
With the corpus analysis service, it is possible to create a text corpus
and then explore it in an analysis session. The analysis session is realized
and then explore through it with analytical tools. The analysis session is realized
on the server side by the Open Corpus Workbench software, which enables
efficient and complex searches with the help of the CQP Query Language.
