            !  {{page}}
Since ((Tiki20)), ((file galleries)) can index the contents of files with images uploaded to Tiki, by means of "Optical Character Recognition" (OCR), and take the result to feed the ((search index)) also.


Tiki relies on https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract so you need to install as per https://tesseract-ocr.github.io/tessdoc/Installation.html

If you are using WikiSuite, Tesseract is installed by default: https://wikisuite.org/Differences-between-Virtualmin-and-WikiSuite

((Server Check)) helps you confirm that Tesseract is working well, and available to Tiki.

!! Required Preferences
To enable OCR indexing in Tiki, make sure to activate the following preference:
ocr_enable: Enables Tiki to extract and index text from supported file types.

Tiki also offers several advanced customization options:
* Display OCR status per file.
* Set custom paths for the tesseract and pdfimages binaries via the system $PATH.
