Hi there,
Does anyone knows a nice OCR java library that I may use to add the OCR
feature [1] to the attachment plugin ?
Thanks

Keep me posted about progress in case you find something cool, I need
this for my home paperwork (I never find stuff when I search for in
real life 🙂

I will dig into it to see if it could fit to my needs.
Keep in touch

Here is a list from Ubuntu:

When it comes to Java:

The Java project is not very active though...

Here is a good post about OCR analysis

However, I dont think that OCR in ES side is a good approach, OCRs consume
a lot of resource maybe you will create a bottleneck in ES node. Some of
those OCRs get in deep in embed images, probably will be more expensive for
the machine.

Thanks to all. I think that the best answer is :
[http://www.roncemer.com/software-development/java-ocr](http://www.roncemer.com/software-development/java-ocr)
FYI, there is one OCR in the cloud : [http://ocrsdk.com/plans-and-pricing/](http://ocrsdk.com/plans-and-pricing/)
with a Java client : [https://github.com/abbyysdk/ocrsdk.com/tree/master/Java](https://github.com/abbyysdk/ocrsdk.com/tree/master/Java)
I agree for the bottleneck. Although it could fit to some use cases.
