Summary
Legible is an on-device document helper for immigrants that uses Gemma 4 E4B (via Ollama) to process photos of official documents locally—no cloud API, no data leaving the machine. The FastAPI backend streams structured XML output from the model, providing plain-language explanations, deadline countdowns, and next steps in 11 languages. Past scans are stored as Fernet-encrypted files, and the frontend is a single HTML file with no build step.
