  • Tesseract 
    Note: if you don't have Tesseract installed, you can disabled the OCR feature (see properties below) to keep Giles from trying to run OCR on images. If the OCR feature is enabled but Tesseract is not installed or configured, Giles will still work and simply silently fail when trying to OCR images.

Notes on Giles & Digilib

Giles works under the assumption that it is running on the same machine as your Digilib installation. When uploading a file, Giles simply puts that file into a folder accessible by Digilib. If you have different requirements, then Giles won't work for you. However, if you are comfortable programming Java, you could implement your own FileStorageManager (edu.asu.giles.files.impl.FileStorageManager). This class is the one that handle file storage in Giles.
