[jira] [Commented] (TIKA-93) OCR support
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-93?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13491996#comment-13491996 ]
Pei Chen commented on TIKA-93:
------------------------------
Have you seen JavaOCR (pure java ocr and BSD licensed): http://sourceforge.net/projects/javaocr/
I have not tried it out myself yet (looks like 1.0 was just released about 1 week ago).
I think a pure java implementation may be easier than forking another process (exec cpp) or introduce jni dependencies.
If interested, I could give it a whirl the next chance I get...

Hey,
I've tried to look up the distribution, however could not find the sources,
in binaries they provide only Nokia distribution.
It would be nice if you could play with it and say your impression(s).
BR,
Oleg
