    Enable Tesseract OCR: Tesseract OCR is an open source optical character recognition engine from Google that can be the means of locating patterns and content in graphical images. Enabling this engine is resource intensive and it is therefore disabled by default. If you enable this option, beware of performance ramifications. Furthermore, if you enable this option, it should be enabled on all deployed instances of AgentFC.
