📖 What is DocStripper?

DocStripper is an AI-powered batch document cleaner that automatically removes noise from text documents. Supports .txt, .docx, and .pdf files in both web and CLI versions:

• Page numbers - Lines with only digits (1, 2, 3...), Roman numerals (I, II, III), or letters (A, B, C)
• Headers/Footers - Common patterns like "Page X of Y", "Confidential", "DRAFT", "INTERNAL USE ONLY"
• Repeating Headers/Footers - Headers/footers that appear on ≥70% of pages (detected automatically)
• Duplicate lines - Consecutive identical lines
• Empty lines - Whitespace-only lines
• Punctuation lines - Lines with only symbols (---, ***, ===) or single bullets (•, *, ·)
• Hyphenation - Safe dehyphenation: "auto-\nmatic" → "automatic" (only lowercase continuations)
