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

["Jukka Zitting (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-93?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12651448#action_12651448 ] 

Jukka Zitting commented on TIKA-93:
-----------------------------------

OCRopus (http://code.google.com/p/ocropus/) seems like a nice tool for this. It's a command like tool so we'd need to use something like the ExternalParser class to use it, but the annotated HTML output it generates is already very close to what Tika uses, so the integration should be easy.

> 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.
