Best OCR API for solr

Hi,

Can anyone list the best OCR APIs available to use in combination with SOLR.

The idea is to take a scanned file (format could be pdf,word,image..etc) as
input and give OCRd file which could be used to get the contents for the
SOLR indexing.

Best Regards,

images

There might be an OCR plugin for Apache Tika (which does exactly this out of
the box except for OCR capability, i believe).
