That is the conclusion I have to come to as well. This may still work if one of 
our vendors adds an enhancement to their product but I will not hold my breath.

Thanks

There are commercial OCR options that might fit the bill, but I'm not aware of 
any good open source pure Java OCR options.

I downloaded the version you mentioned and I got it to work. The results were 
the same as yours.

But after review this unfortunately will not work for us as we need something 
that is in a jar file that we can install on our Power Server. The project that 
the OCR will eventually be part has this as a requirement.

If you have any other suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks for your time. It is very much appreciated.

You might want to experiment with different -psm values, we use 1 by default.

Also, which version of Tesseract? I think I got mine from 
(https://github.com/UB-Mannheim/tesseract/wiki), version:

tesseract 3.05.00dev
leptonica-1.73
  libgif 4.1.6(?) : libjpeg 8d (libjpeg-turbo 1.4.2) : libpng 1.6.20 : libtiff 
4.0.6 : zlib 1.2.8 : libwebp 0.4.3 : libopenjp2 2.1.0

I installed tesseract on my PC. I ran tesseract on its own using the following 
command:

tesseract.exe x:/java/PDFBox/Maxfield-1.tiff x:/java/PDFBox/Maxfield-1

The results are in the attached file. Not as clean as the results Timothy got. 
I am closer to where I want to get to but obviously I am a number of steps to 
my ideal solution. How to get the same results Timothy got?

Thanks

Gord

You'll need to set up tesseract to run Optical Character Recognition.  While we 
have an integration with OCR, it is not bundled within the app.

See https://wiki.apache.org/tika/TikaOCR

For kicks, I ran this through Tika+Tesseract; this is the output you get once 
you've set up Tesseract:

Subject: Extract Text from a TIFF image

I have tried using the GUI for tika-app-1.13 but it shows nothing. I can see 
the metdata but that does not give me the information I need. I have attached 
the file.

Maybe it is not possible to extract the text. If so what should I be looking 
for to tell me that it cannot extract the text.

Thanks
