Configure OCR for Windows
To use Optical Character Recognition (OCR), you must install and enable Tesseract and ImageMagick on Windows.
Tesseract uses ImageMagick for OCR. When both Tesseract and ImageMagick are installed, Tesseract takes precedence for P4 Search.

To install Tesseract, see Tesseract installer for windows.
Ensure that when installing Tesseract on Windows, you add the location of tesseract.exe file to the PATH environment variable.
