Class TesseractOCRParser

java.lang.Object

org.apache.tika.parser.AbstractParser

org.apache.tika.parser.ocr.TesseractOCRParser

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Parser

public class TesseractOCRParser
extends AbstractParser

TesseractOCRParser powered by tesseract-ocr engine. To enable this parser, create a TesseractOCRConfig object and pass it through a ParseContext. Tesseract-ocr must be installed and on system path or the path to its root folder must be provided:

TesseractOCRConfig config = new TesseractOCRConfig();
//Needed if tesseract is not on system path
config.setTesseractPath(tesseractFolder);
parseContext.set(TesseractOCRConfig.class, config);

parse

public void parse(InputStream stream,
         ContentHandler handler,
         Metadata metadata,
         ParseContext context)
           throws IOException,
                  SAXException,
                  TikaException

Description copied from interface: Parser

Parses a document stream into a sequence of XHTML SAX events. Fills in related document metadata in the given metadata object.

The given document stream is consumed but not closed by this method. The responsibility to close the stream remains on the caller.

Information about the parsing context can be passed in the context parameter. See the parser implementations for the kinds of context information they expect.

Parameters:

stream - the document stream (input)

handler - handler for the XHTML SAX events (output)

metadata - document metadata (input and output)

context - parse context

Throws:

IOException - if the document stream could not be read

SAXException - if the SAX events could not be processed

TikaException - if the document could not be parsed
