Hi,

Did you find any solution for that?
I'm very interesting in reading images and extract metadata. Could you tell me some steps about how integrate a OCR software in alfresco and extract metadata information?
Is OCR Sharp a free software?

Thanks very much in advance

hi,

Actually, Alfresco allow the users to create the Aspect (Key search field) to put all your information from the OCR to the alfresco properties. Also, you could put the text file along with the file to be the file properties by doing some rules.

But, for the rename file from the OCR Zone, the core content could not do like that so you need the importing Modules from

http://www.alfresco-plugin.com

or

http://www.qdoclive.com

I see the demo plugin module in these website
