Gettext question

[A_Learner]

Hi, Does get text activity work with images? or does the ui element need to have a selector?

Thanks,

It won’t work with images. For that you’d need to use Get OCR Text.

Hi @A_Learner

The “Get Text” activity in UiPath is designed to extract text from elements in the user interface. It works with elements that have identifiable selectors, such as labels or buttons. However, it doesn’t directly work with images.

You can use “Get OCR Text” activity in UiPath is specifically designed to extract text from images using OCR. This activity can be used when you need to capture text from graphical elements, screenshots, or images where traditional text extraction methods.

Hope you understand!!
