Image to text conversion
Hello All -
I am looking for an OCR ability in cTAKES. The requirement is to convert scanned image documents (ex: scanned hand written prescriptions) into a text format. Then apply the usual NLP pipeline to convert the unstructured text to a structured data.
Can cTAKES convert scanned image documents into a text? If so, please help me to understand this by sharing any documents or video.
Many thanks,
Sekhar H.

Sekhar,
There are a few open Jira's:
I think it would be a great contribution if you get this to work:
- CTAKES-189 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CTAKES-189>
GSoC: Implement OCR/Tika to standardize text input for cTAKES
-
- CTAKES-105 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CTAKES-105>
Add Apache Tika integration
