Assuming you don’t, can you provide a sample file of what you want to convert?

Yeah what Ashok just posted :slight_smile:

Please note that using OCR, is not 100% accurate.
Further refinement might require you to use tools like Document Understanding of one of its competitors to further extract the data. They also use OCR, but add layers of AI/ML to enhance the quality of the data extraction.

If for example you use this to extract financial info from an invoice, in order to facilitate payments, it can make a big difference if an O is mistaken for a 0 or a ‘,’ for a ‘.’.

Just go to your Activities panel and type “OCR” into the search box.
