OCR Processor

This processor leverages Tesseract Optical Character Recognition processing for different file types.

The library provides optical character recognition (OCR) support for:

• TIFF, JPEG, GIF, PNG, and BMP image formats
• Multi-page TIFF images
• PDF document format

Note: PDF files are the only ones supported by this content processor.
