Hi mentors,
I would like to start writting proposal for OCR implementation in digikam.
So far I have general idea of Dplugins (thanks to Giles github link) and
have gone through kooka implementation ( though it's little hard to
understand it all this early to be honest ).

But I want to give it a shot so please could you please tell your final
expectations in proposal.Also, i am also working on simple tesseract and Qt based app just to get a jist of tesseract, would you like to see it's output on proposal also?

Thank you

Regards
Vishal dhull
