Welcome to Cheque Mate, the ultimate solution for automating cheque data extraction! 🎉 This project leverages the power of OpenAI's GPT-4 to analyze cheque images and extract key information to a CSV file, making cheque processing a breeze. 😎

To get started with Cheque Mate, follow these simple steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/kaneda2004/cheque-mate.git
   

2. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Create a folder called scans/ and place your cheque scans in the folder. (one per page for now)

4. Set your OpenAI API key as an environment variable:

   export OPENAI_API_KEY=your-api-key
   

5. Run the script:

   python main.py
   

Sit back and relax as Cheque Mate works its magic! 🪄✨ The extracted cheque data will be saved in the cheque_data.csv file.

• main.py: The main script that orchestrates the cheque data extraction process.
• requirements.txt: The list of required Python dependencies.
• scans/: The directory where you should place your cheque scans.
• cheque_data.csv: The CSV file containing the extracted cheque data.

Cheque Mate has a wide range of use cases, including:

• 🏦 Banking and Financial Institutions: Automate cheque processing and data entry.
• 🧾 Accounting and Bookkeeping: Streamline cheque reconciliation and record-keeping.
• 🔍 Fraud Detection: Analyze cheque data for potential fraudulent activities.
• 📊 Data Analysis: Gain insights from cheque data for business intelligence and decision-making.
