> Support output of Tesseract OSD output for psm mode 0
> -----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TIKA-2696
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2696
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: ocr
> Reporter: August Valera
> Assignee: Tim Allison
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.2.0
>
>
> TIKA-2357 added support for additional PSM (page segmentation modes) for
> Tesseract OCR, including mode 0, which is {{Orientation and script detection
> (OSD) only}}, meaning it does not perform OCR, just outputs orientation and
> script information.
> An example usage of mode 0:
> {code:java}
> $ tesseract infile.png outfile --psm 0 -l osd
> {code}
> In this mode, the usual {{outfile.txt}} is not created. Instead, and similar
> to other modes that run OSD in addition to extraction, the result is an
> {{outfile.osd}} file, like so:
> {code:java}
> Page 1
> Warning. Invalid resolution 0 dpi. Using 70 instead.
> Estimating resolution as 212
> Page number: 0
> Orientation in degrees: 0
> Rotate: 0
> Orientation confidence: 13.73
> Script: Latin
> Script confidence: 4.78
> {code}
> However, {{TesseractOCRParser#parse(...)}} is
> [coded|https://github.com/apache/tika/blob/master/tika-parsers/src/main/java/org/apache/tika/parser/ocr/TesseractOCRParser.java#L437]
> to only read the contents of {{outfile.txt}} (alternatively
> {{outfile.hocr}}) in all modes, so mode 0 outputs nothing regardless of input.
> This is consistent with Tika's goal to output extracted text, but against the
> intention of the user expecting OSD output.
