Tim Allison commented on TIKA-1994:
-----------------------------------
And one other question... I know that Tesseract can do script detection via
the commandline. Is there any way at all to do language detection so that you
can pass in the right language model?
> Integrate OCR with PDFParser

> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Tim Allison
> Assignee: Tim Allison
>
> Users can now run OCR on individual images embedded inline in PDFs if they
> get the configuration right.
> There are some drawbacks: 1) the text appears as an attachment if using the
> RecursiveParserWrapper, 2) text may be more cleanly extracted on the fully
> rendered page instead of on the individual images (this is still tbd).
> It might be useful to run OCR against each rendered page (instead of the
> component images).
> Integrating OCR is on the roadmap for PDFBox 2.1 (PDFBOX-1912). This will
> allow us to experiment with strategies until the cleaner integration is
> available with PDFBox 2.1.
