[jira] Created: (TIKA-93) OCR support

OCR support
-----------

                 Key: TIKA-93
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-93
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Jukka Zitting
            Priority: Minor


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.
