+```
+
+## Project Structure
+```
+.
+├── input/          # Place PDFs here for processing
+├── output/         # Processed files and reports
+├── src/           
+│   └── accessibility_checker/
+├── config.yaml     # Configuration settings
+└── requirements.txt
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+1. Place PDFs in the `input` directory
+2. Run the processor:
+```bash
+# macOS/Linux
+python src/main.py
+
+# Windows
+python src\main.py
+```

+Results are organized in the `output` directory structure.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Windows-Specific Issues
+- If Tesseract isn't found: Verify PATH includes `C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR`
+- If MuPDF isn't found: Add MuPDF installation directory to PATH
+- Command prompt might require admin privileges for first run
