Hi, I thought I'd chime in here to say, everyone who has responded is correct: there is currently no OCR functionality within DSpace. However, DSpace does utilize Apache Tika to feed the fulltext search index, and Tika does also support OCR functionality (via Tesseract OCR). To be clear, there's no OCR capability within DSpace... yet... but someone could build it, if they were keen to do so.
One word of caution to developers who want to tackle this job: I've seen Tesseract OCR severely impact another software's throughput... You'd have to engineer carefully to avoid running into the same problem. --Hardy On Wed, Aug 16, 2023 at 5:57 PM Yvonne <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you both.
