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...

> 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.
