Technically plugin settings scoped for the config_plugins table should be named block_filescan/[settingname] rather than just filescan/[settingname].

If document is being used in multiple courses, develop mechanism to notify faculty in other courses that an accessible version of a document is available and give them easy way to replace the inaccessible doc

After remediated files are added would be nice to have a "Refresh Results" button so users can update the results after they've added new documents or fixed old ones.

Might be nice to give a before and after number - but don't think this is essential

• Convert text image to text, provide user with example of text so they can judge if acceptable
  • would need some method of quality assurance or some method of human review
• provide link to ocr'd document to allow user to replace existing doc
• keep and tag the old doc for period of time to
  a. be able to check original if needed
  b. find the old docs and remove them after time period ends
• allow users to indicate the doc is a legit image during the review process

I took a file that did not have the language set, opened it in Acrobat, and added a language. The filescan server did not detect the language in the file.

When parsing a document, an exception thrown by the parser doesn't return anything to the client. So need to wait for timeout to get a response.

Possibly use spell check to see what percentage of words are spelled correctly
Can also check for language setting in PDF (and whether it is present)

• export that maintains weeks/topics would be great
