Hi there, The following [case](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-mapper-attachments/issues/10) was reopened due to my request (see below). Could someone provide an update about the subject? Recent Apache Tika ([http://tika.apache.org/1.7/index.html](http://tika.apache.org/1.7/index.html)) and up is now supporting OCR which depends on the pre-installation of Tesseract ([https://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr](https://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr)). According to what I checked elasticsearch Mapper Attachments ([https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-mapper-attachments#mapper-attachments-type-for-elasticsearch](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-mapper-attachments#mapper-attachments-type-for-elasticsearch)) is supporting the same Tika library as mentioned above. So, is it just exposing the API's?? Would love to hear what do you guys think as this is a really cool feature! ---
