Hi Kintu Barot,

i'm able to find the text in pdf format only

not in images

Remove all the files from the following path

<ALF_HOME>/tomcat/temp/Alfresco

Upload new image file anywhere in the Alfresco repository, if the .txt file is generated on the above given path containing the text present in the image file you have uploaded then your OCR is working properly.

Otherwise you might have missing something from the steps mentioned here.
