Juxta-CL is a command line text comparison tool based on the online JuxtaCommons tool. Juxta-CL was created by eMOP collaborators Performant Software Solutions to do ground-truth comparison for testing the accuracy of our OCR processes. It compares two separate pages of text and generates a score between 0 & 1 indicating the their correlation to each other. Juxta-CL can use one of several different distance algorithms for this purpose:
- Jaro-Winkler
- Levenshtein
- native Juxta compare
Juxta-CL also has command-line options to:
- ignore punctuation
- ignore case
- ignore end of line hyphenation
- normalize file encoding to UTF-8
Juxta-CL is now available as an open-source project from eMOP via our Github page under an Apache Software License, v2.0
