# Chronicling America OCR debatcher

This program takes paths to `.tar.bz2` batches of OCR files from the

*Chronicling America* [bulk data

downloads](https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/about/api/#bulk-data). It converts

each batch into a CSV file, which you can load into a database or do whatever

you like with. It will process the batches concurrently.

Usage:

```

./chronam-ocr-debatcher [--processes=8] 

```

You can download binaries from the [releases page](https://github.com/lmullen/chronam-ocr-debatcher/releases).
