[jira] [Commented] (TIKA-93) OCR support

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-93?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13125745#comment-13125745 ] 

Enrico Stahn commented on TIKA-93:
----------------------------------

You could use [docsplit|http://documentcloud.github.com/docsplit/] which is a wrapper around Tesseract and other tools but has probably a simpler API.

> I don't know of any decent open source pure Java OCR libraries, but there are command line OCR tools like Tesseract (http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/) that could be invoked by Tika to extract text content (where available) from image files.
