Hello again,
I'm trying to setup ocr using tesseract. I've scanned a few documents and run tesseract on cosole, all went fine.
When I use the scanner applet to scan a file and applet uploads it I thought this should be automagically run through tesseract, but I think this is a wrong understanding.
I've read a thread in this forum that it should be possible to put meta information to the image file.
So can anyone explain how to upload file and metainformation ?
How to use system.ocr in OpenKM ?

Thanks in advance
Christoph

Yes but with external program, using webservices api.

We're planning some enhancement to processing some special extensions files that OpenKM will processing only as metada purpose too. But it's only as a part of roadmap.

Ok, thanks.
But what is system.ocr for ? If I process external and upload file and metadata I've no need for this parameter .
