Chris A. Mattmann commented on TIKA-93: --------------------------------------- Hi Luis, yep those are some good ideas and we may need to extend ExternalParser here to provide those capabilities you're talking about. I'll see about extending it b/c I think it's the better way to go. Give me a day or so and I'll hopefully have something. > OCR support > ----------- > > Key: TIKA-93 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-93 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: parser > Reporter: Jukka Zitting > Assignee: Chris A.
