How to get Microsoft or Abby OCR?

[cthamizh (Thamizh Chezhiyan)]

Hi,

For Get OCR Text Activity, UiPath takes Google OCR as a default OCR Engine.

When I tried changing the OCR as Microsoft OCR or Abby OCR, I am getting an error.

How can I resolve other OCR engines??

Hey @cthamizh

it is default preferred choice but you can delete that engine activity and drag the Microsoft ocr engine activity simply.

Let me know still if you have any problem on this.

While using Abby OCR.

please check this link:

Abbyy OCR Engine

Hi, For Abby OCR activity to work, you need to install ABBYY FineReader Engine and purchase a license for it. Regarding the fact that AbbyOCR option is not visible in screen scraping wizard we will investigate. Thanks, Cosmin

While using Microsoft OCR

check this link:

OCR : Microsoft OCR/Cloud OCR/ Abby OCR giving same error : "InvalidImageInput"

I am trying to extract Text from an image. I have attached the screenshot of my workflow. It gives same error all the time. Let me know if i am doing something wrong or is there anything which is not configured properly. For abby, i have imported namespace as well, For MODI, i have already installed SharePoint designer and enabled Microsoft Document Imagining Feature. For google i only found , Google Core API and i have imported that namespace. But seems, none of the option is working. [image…

It is working fine with google ocr right?

have you installed MODI? at the time of use of MIcrosft you get something pop to install ?
