Hi All,

We are planning to integrate Tesseract OCR engine for one of our application we are building for internal DMS.

Can someone let me know of the licensing requirements?

Also, is there any Support Agreement that I can get into with either Apache (or Google)?

Any help/pointers in this regard is highly appreciated.

Many thanks

regards,

Parag

The license is Apache v2 as specified here: https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/blob/master/COPYING

It's a pretty liberal license, but you should have your lawyer review it for you with an eye towards whatever your specific needs are.

Neither Google nor the Apache Software Foundation offer commercial support, but there are a number of developers who do commercial work with Tesseract and may be willing to provide you with support, depending on what type of support you're looking for.
