Is TREX able to index TIFF or JPEG?

[biagio_lobascio2]

Hi Experts,

has TREX some kind of OCR-Functionality? Is it possible to activate indexing for TIFF, JPEG etc.?

Thanks a lot!

Bastian is absolutely correct - there is no OCR in TREX.

Possibilities:

- Use OCR before ever entering the indexing, write the picture and the OCRed text as a long text attribue into one PDF and have the attribute included in your full-text search, IF the TREX scenarion we are talking about allows this. In e.g. the Portal's KM this should be possible for all I know.

- Use TREX Python extensions to exit the indexing process, use OCR behind the exit and then resubmit to the indexing process. But this may require some work and I personally can only tell you that it should be possible and has been done before, but I do not have the details how...

Best, Karsten

Hi there.

I´m pretty usre, there is no OCR functionality (yet)...

TREX can index pictures by their filename, author, date of creation and so on.
