pip install doctran
from doctran import Doctran
doctran = Doctran(openai_api_key=OPENAI_API_KEY)
document = doctran.parse(content="your_content_as_string")Doctran is designed to make chaining document transformations easy. For example, you may want to first redact all PII from a document before sending it over to OpenAI to be summarized.
Ordering is important when chaining transformations - transformations that are invoked first will be executed first, and its result will be passed to the next transformation.
document = await document.redact(entities=["EMAIL_ADDRESS", "PHONE_NUMBER"]).extract(properties).summarize().execute()Given any valid JSON schema, uses OpenAI function calling to extract structured data from a document.
from doctran import ExtractProperty
properties = ExtractProperty(
name="millenial_or_boomer",
description="A prediction of whether this document was written by a millenial or boomer",
type="string",
enum=["millenial", "boomer"],
required=True
)
document = await document.extract(properties=properties).execute()Uses a spaCy model to remove names, emails, phone numbers and other sensitive information from a document. Runs locally to avoid sending sensitive data to third party APIs.
document = await document.redact(entities=["PERSON", "EMAIL_ADDRESS", "PHONE_NUMBER", "US_SSN"]).execute()Summarize the information in a document. token_limit may be passed to configure the size of the summary, however it may not be respected by OpenAI.
document = await document.summarize().execute()Remove all information from a document unless it's related to a specific set of topics.
document = await document.refine(topics=['marketing', 'meetings']).execute()Translates text into another language
document = await document.translate(language="spanish").execute()Convert information in a document into question and answer format. End user queries often take the form of a question, so converting information into questions and creating indexes from these questions often yields better results when using a vector database for context retrieval.
document = await document.interrogate().execute()Doctran is open to contributions! The best way to get started is to contribute a new document transformer. Transformers that don't rely on API calls (e.g. OpenAI) are especially valuable since they can run fast and don't require any external dependencies.
Contributing new transformers is straightforward.
- Add a new class that extends
DocumentTransformerorOpenAIDocumentTransformer - Implement the
__init__andtransformmethods - Add corresponding methods to the
DocumentTransformationBuilderandDocumentclasses to enable chaining
