This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 4: Ghost in the Machine
When someone dies, or falls ill, a family opens one drawer. Passbooks. Insurance policies. A land record. An ID card. Nobody knows what exists, what is due, or who to call. The papers are the ghosts that stay behind.
Ghost Papers reads those papers, explains each one in plain English, বাংলা or हिन्दी, and files everything into one legacy file:
Every fact has a receipt: tap it and you see the exact line that was read from the picture.
I read "honouring the past" literally. These are the papers a person left behind, and the job is to treat them carefully, in a family's own language, without sending them anywhere.
Every paper a loved one left behind: read, explained and filed. In your own language. On your own computer.
When someone passes away or falls ill, the family finds a drawer of papers: passbooks, insurance policies, pension slips, land records, ID cards. Nobody knows what exists, what is due, or who to call. Ghost Papers turns the pile into one legacy file and a printable family binder.
Built for the DEV Hacktoberfest "Ghost in the Machine" week: the papers are the ghosts, and the tool honours the person who left them.
