Chris A. Mattmann commented on TIKA-93:
---------------------------------------
Hey Grant, patch is looking good! I will need to download it and test it out,
but this is just based on a cursory inspection.
Some comments:
# what is the dependency on jacoco in tika-parent? That stuff seems orthogonal
to the patch.
# maybe think about providing the training directory as part of the
ParseContext (maybe a property like o.a.tika.parser.ocr.trainingDataDirPath?)
# dependency on custom external Maven repo -- myGrid -- any way to get the jar
from the Central repo somewhere? we have made an effort in Tika to remove any
specific deps on external repositories, see:
http://blog.sonatype.com/2010/03/why-external-repos-are-being-phased-out-of-central/#.UvaEN0JdWxU
Looking great. Maybe we can get some of this in 1.6 even with the deps on the
external repo but we need to get rid of those before releasing. I will try this
out in a few hours! I'm excited b/c I may even be able to use this for the
homework assignments in my CS572 class on Search Engines where we look at FBI
Vault PDF files! :) http://www-scf.usc.edu/~csci572/

> 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.
