OCR (Optical character recognition) Scanner for talend.

[Anonymous]

Hi
I have been scouring the internet for about an hour and a half looking for some way to scan a pdf or doc. into talend but have not found any answers or components that can help.
I was wondering if anyone had made or knows of a component that can scan documents and put their produced text into talend for processing. At the moment I am using Free-OCR which is not really the way I want to go as I have to run the program before each talend process which is not very efficient.
Im really hoping somene has a solution to this.
Thanks in advance.

P.S. I wasnt quite sure where to post this.

Hi,
We don't have such a component to scan a pdf or doc. Talend is a code generator ETL which use JAVA as the underline technology generated to perform the Data Extraction, Transformation and Loading.

Is it possible for me to request such a component? I know it is possible to do through talends as there are many OCR SDK's based on java

Hi,
You can open a JIRA issue in the Talend DI project of the JIRA bugtracker for your new feature. Our component developer will see if this feature can be available in further version.
Certainly, you can create a custom component by yourself.
Please see the reference: componentCreation
Best regards
