AOL Question Finder

Web scraper for aolsoru.com. This website publishes old exam questions publicly. But every question is an image, therefore, you can not search for the specific question. I made the web scraper app that crawls every exam in targetted lecture, downloads images with answers, saves them into SQLite database and converts images to text with OCR. In the end, you can search questions by entering text on the Flask website.

The purpose of the project is for fun.

Setup

pip install -r .\requirements.txt
