How to extract text from images?

Hello All,

I’m using “extract table data” activity in my work, and I notice that this activity could not get text from images.

As you can see below, “Pickup date” text is image file, so UI path can not import this data to table.

If I can solve this problem, everything will be good, but this one is the biggest problem on my work. Does anyone know this solution?

I attach my UiPath workflow as below. thank you.

The CV Extract Table from the UiPath.UIAutomation.Activities.23.10.11 is not helping?

I dont think it is an image…the value might be disabled…in extract datatable you would have a property schema which you can try modifying to extract…but how to modify can beknown by inspecting the element and checking the html

Hello Anil,

Thanks for assist. Unfortunately, this website is only available to authorized user who has a ID in this website.

I think the text in the white box is certainly form of text, but I think somewhat the website master forbidened to click the text in the white box. I dragged the table like below picture, and the text in the white box also appeared to be dragged.

So I think instead of using “Extract table data” activity, it could be worked to use “drag and drop” activity to copy the data. how do you think…?

Or, if you don’t mind, I want to give you password of teamviewer so that you can assist me directly. thank you so much.

Hello Anil,

Yes, can you assist with changing the property of “extract table data” activity?

No, what you would do is use Find Children (set to descendants) to find all the rows of the table (filter on tag=‘TR’). Then loop through the rows and use a Get Text for each column. Then finally Add Data Row to your datatable.
