Hi, doyou know if there is a blog or a tutorial that explain how to integer ocr in alfresco and the rules to add to documents in order to have an automatic classification ?

You can try this: https://github.com/keensoft/alfresco-simple-ocr

If you are targeting classification features, I recommend you Ephesoft

this is not really a step by step tutorial, just a link on github ...

ephesoft seems not to be free -> you have to subscribe to their cloud

Document Capture with Ephesoft | Alfresco Add-ons - Alfresco Customizations

and then after passing hours to figure out how to install it, they will propose you a way for making it works well ...

It doesn't sound what I'm looking for ...

plus I don't get why does we need to use a cloud. I want to install it entirely to my local server in order to be fully autonomous

ok so I've past a long time on this issue something like 2 days

to finally understand that one of the good ways to install the latest version of ephesoft is finally on ubuntu 14.04.5 TLS and not debian 9, not debian 8.7, not ubuntu 17.0.4, not ubuntu 14.10 and finally not ubuntu 14.04.4 not TLS but only ubuntu 14.04.5 TLS

and then the installation works ...
