Flexicapture Classifier not available

Hi All,

I’m doing the Document Understanding Overview tutorial.
And i’m now at the point to add the activity Flexicapture Classifier, however this activity is not being found and also i’m unable to find the package for abbyy.
UiPath state that you only can use it when you aquire a license for flexicapture.
Any tips?

Please who can help me?

Thanks in advance!
Best regards
Marcel

Hi @Marcel_Broersen, welcome to the Community.

UiPath has recently announced the deprecation of the ABBYY FlexiCapture OCR engine in their platform. Starting with the 2021.10 release, UiPath will no longer provide updates or support for the ABBYY FlexiCapture OCR engine.

The UiPath.Abbyy.Activities package is unlisted from the UiPath Studio Manage Packages official feed & UiPath is no longer a reseller of Abbyy products.

If you already purchased Abbyy through UiPath, please contact your dedicated Sales Representative for more information.

Hope this helps,
Best Regards.

That’s exactly what I found and thus I have to buy a Flexicapture license?
Are the any other solutions or is the document understanding not working with other than Abbyy?

If you can consider an approach other than buying a flexicapture licence, you can utilise the official UiPath Document Understanding tool for the same.
