FCCC Music Finder makes a scanned music collection practical to browse. It extracts and indexes titles from programme images, then provides a responsive search interface that leads directly to the matching scan.
What it does
- OCR-backed index across 349 pages from the 2025 and 2026 collections. The title picker weighs OCR confidence, text size, placement, and readability to prefer the most likely title on each scan.
- Incremental catalogue updates that reprocess only new or changed images while retaining candidate titles and confidence scores for every page.
- Fuzzy title search that combines weighted and token-based matching, so partial words and imperfect OCR still produce useful results.
- Mobile-first viewer with touch-friendly controls, responsive layouts, rotation that is remembered per scan, and image downloads.
- Read-only collection that preserves the indexed titles while making the original material easy to find and view.
Built with Python, Starlette, SQLite, and vanilla JavaScript. Title editing is deliberately read-only: the app is for finding and viewing the original material, not altering the indexed record.
