# Dealing with documents as images

LumiFind has a feature called: "Treat Images as Documents".

If this feature is enabled under [Settings](https://docs.midilli.tech/books/lumifind-user-guide/page/settings "Settings") -> [Analysis Settings](https://docs.midilli.tech/books/lumifind-user-guide/page/settings#bkmrk-analysis-settings), the images found under the "Included Folders" will be treated as documents and the text will be extracted for quick search.

For Mac and Linux users, this will work out-of-the-box. However, Windows users need to install third-party tools to achieve that.

On Windows:

1. Open a PowerShell and type: `winget install -e --id UB-Mannheim.TesseractOCR` (This tool is provided by Library of University Mannheim: [https://ub-mannheim.github.io/Tesseract\_Dokumentation/)](https://ub-mannheim.github.io/Tesseract_Dokumentation/%29)
2. Download Ghostscript and install from: [https://ghostscript.com/releases/gsdnld.html](https://ghostscript.com/releases/gsdnld.html) (Unfortunately, this needs to be done manually)

Both tools are free and open-source. You can check their requirements on their websites.
