jpeg's and OCR

[domi]

Hi @all,

finally I got a working OCR-integration. I use tesseract at the moment, because for me it has a better support for german language.
I installed OpenKM 5.1.10 on ubuntu x64.

But with both extractor's I can't get jpeg's to be ocr'd. All other supported formats get ocr'd, but I tried everything, I can't get it working with the jpg-format.

Executed in a shell it works with both tesseract and cuneiform.

Any possibility to debug the OCR-mechanism?

Thx!

Domi

There was a typo in the JPEG MimeType: was "image/jpg" and should be "image/jpeg". Please, try with the last night build from http://integration.openkm.com/5.1/.

Hi, finally I got it working with jpegs too.

There are just a few steps:

• apt-get install ImageMagick

• apt-get install cuneiform

• apt-get install libreoffice

In Admin-Panel set:

• system.imagemagick.convert = /usr/bin/convert

• system.ocr = /usr/bin/cuneiform ${fileIn} -o ${fileOut} -l ger

• system.openoffice.path = /usr/lib/libreoffice

That's all I made for finally got it working.

Don't know which OS you have installed, but this is how it works (for me) with Ubuntu 12.04

Good luck!
