It seams to me as a common problem, but I just could not find any Activity that address this question. I found them for reading emails and saving attachments, but thats pretty easy.
The main part, that is my greater interest, is how can I recognize that the attached images (jpg, png, …) are of a specific kind of information (lets say, a Drivers Licence) and then extract the name and id of the driver.
Hi,
As you know how to extract from email and save the attachments in your local and get the file name.
Once received the files you can use various ocr engines to get the required fields that you want or you can use ABBYY flexicapture to get the fields, create doc definition and then store to excel or database and fetch from there using various activities in uipath.
Hi,
You can use if condition insid for each loop of output of save attachment activity to check what type of file it is. Or if you want to use abbyy flexicapture, you need to know the different types of files you will be expecting and for each of those sample files you need to create a template to extract fields and in project set up station create project for all the types of templates created.
Where do I find Flexicapture ? It is not present in OCR activities.
I found in another post that we have to install Intelligent OCR Activities.
I tryied that, but the package does not install.
Anyway, reading the documentation, I still can´t find solution for what I need. It is not only the type of file (PDF, JPG, etc). It is image recognition.
Hey,
Not sure what is your requirement but what I usually do is: I am using flexicapture studio which is a paid version and then from there I am sending the data to a database and using uipath I am using database activities to get the data into uipath
Thanks for your attention. Understood your approach. I am doing a prof of concept, so not the moment to buy licences. Looking for RPA as a auxiliar tool for BPM process in Bizagi. Thought UIPath had image recognition features, but seems that it requires other tools.
I need something like this:
Read mails + attachments → identify diferent types of documents (attached pdfs ou images), classify them and get OCR information from them → Create case in Bizagi with information classified.
