Adding an OCR Open Converter
To add an OCR open converter
-
Using an administrator account, connect to the Coveo Master server.
-
If it does not already exist, create the [Index_Path]\Scripts folder. The default folder is C:\CES7\Scripts.
-
Copy the [CES_Path]\OCR Module\OCRConversion7.js file to the [Index_Path]\Scripts folder.
Note: With CES 7.0.5935– (September 2013), the OCR module is available only in a 32-bit version, on a 64-bit server. The module components are installed by default in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Coveo Enterprise Search 7\OCR Module folder.
Important: The default OCR script configuration is a compromise between conversion completeness and performances and can prevent indexing some content in documents and possibly entire documents. Consider adapting the configuration to your needs (see Tuning the OCR Module).
-
Create a source to index the OCR documents (see Adding a Source).
-
Create an OCR open converter in CES:
-
On the Coveo server, access the Administration Tool (see Opening the Administration Tool).
-
Select Configuration > Converters > Open Converters.
-
In the Open Converters page, click Add.
-
In the Add an Open Converter page:
-
In the Name box, enter OCR as the name for the converter.
-
In the Script File box, enter the path of the converter script file.
Example: C:\CES7\Scripts\OCRConversion7.js
-
In the Script Language drop-down list, select JScript.
-
Click Apply Changes.
