Nick Burch commented on TIKA-93:
--------------------------------
There's been a bit more work on the External Parser support (see TIKA-634),
which may make the calling more flexible.
The main missing step at the moment is getting a single command line program we
can run to do the OCR, as Jukka said likely using Tesseract or OCRopus.

> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: parser
> Reporter: Jukka Zitting
> Priority: Minor
>
> 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.
