## What is Ambar
|
|
|
|
Ambar is a document search and management system with automated crawling, OCR, deduplication and ultra-fast full-text search. Imagine having billions of files in different formats like xls, doc, txt, pdf, ppt, etc..., in any encoding. Ambar securely stores them and gives you an ability to search through their content and metadata in milliseconds. It is very lightweight, simple and intuitive, but yet very fast and powerful. All the rocket-science is hidden behind the simple UI.

### Is it open-source?

|
|
|
|
### Does it perform OCR?
|
|
Yes, it performs OCR on images (jpg, tiff, bmp, etc) and PDF's. OCR is perfomed by well-known open-source library Tesseract. We tuned it to achieve best perfomance and quality on scanned documents. You can easily find all files on which OCR was perfomed with `tags:ocr` query
|
|
|
|
### Which languages are supported for OCR?
