Help
1

Hello Everyone,
While trying to get price from a webpage using OCR - Screen Scrapping (screen shot below)

price%20screen

The output captures the currency symbol as “?”. Output message box below:
output%20price

Also, I only want value as out put and not the field name.

Please advise…

Hi
Welcome to uipath community
We can increase the scale property of tessaract ocr in the property panel like nearly 0.8 to 0.9
That would work for sure
As it increases the accuracy level

Thank you for the quick response :slight_smile: . is the section below “scale” to be modified:
properties

By default the value used was “2”.

Also, how can “Extract Words” be used…

Extract words checked is fine
i have a small doubt, the value looks different (fine may be for reference you might have added)

Kindly reduce the scale to 0.9 or even 1
or better try to reduce the scale to 0.5 or 0.6 if the image is bit bigger and not smaller
the reason is the more is scale it will zoom in the image

so here the scale determines what to extract and how far to extract
Hope this would help you

scaling did remove spaces but after picking the initial element, there is further option of sub selection which resulted in the desired output.

…will test it further and update the thread.

I used Get Text instead of the OCR option, it works accurately without any issues mentioned before. Also, it works if the page is not on top. Thanks again for the inputs
