---------------------------------
Summary: Convert new transcribe package to a Parser along the
lines of OCR?
Key: TIKA-3384
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3384
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Tim Allison
This is a proposal to convert [~lewismc] et al's awesome new transcribe code
into a parser along the lines of Tesseract.
In 2.x, I inverted the call order from 1.x. The image parsers now look to see
if there's a parser that supports a pseudo mime, like {{image/ocr-jpeg}}, if
there is, then they apply that parser to the stream. We could do the same
thing with media files that the new transcription package supports.
For those who want only ocr/transcription, they can turn off the image parsers
and then decorate the OCR parser, for example, with {{supports "image/jpeg"}}
and that parser will be called directly.
What do you think?
