Basics
Most of the processes in plusmeta work on the basis of text. It can happen that objects to be processed, such as scanned paper documents or images, have no text content and therefore cannot be processed in a meaningful way. With the help of character recognition in plusmeta, the text content can be extracted from such objects.
Further preprocessing processes in plusmeta are explained here.
