Hi @bhagyashri.kasture ,

Hi @bhagyashri.kasture

To use ABBYY OCR technology within UiPath, you typically need to install the ABBYY FlexiCapture Engine or ABBYY FineReader Engine.

How i can install it? Is it need any license.

For Abby OCR activity to work, you need to install ABBYY FineReader Engine and purchase a license for it.

@bhagyashri.kasture,

Before you start just remember ABBYY OCR will be additional license cost to UiPath licenses.

ABBYY have two flavors of OCR engines.

  1. ABBYY Felxicapture - Requires exe installation. Refer this for installation - Installing ABBYY FlexiCapture
    For integration with UiPath, refer this - Activities - FlexiCapture Integration (uipath.com)
  2. ABBYY Vantage - Cloud or No installation required - Refer this for integration- ABBYY Vantage for UiPath - RPA Component | UiPath Marketplace | Overview

Thanks,

Can you please suggest which one we can use in our automation.

@bhagyashri.kasture,

I would suggest to go with ABBYY Vintage as it’s fully cloud and don’t require any installation.

Kindly consider factors such as the complexity of your documents, volume of processing, and integration with UiPath when making your decision.

You can connect with ABBYY sales team with your requirements and they would be happy to help you with the right product selection.

Don’t forget to share what you decided for our knowledge :wink:

I have get confirmation from UiPath technical support that ABBYY is no longer supported by UiPath and we can’t purchase ABBYY license.

Ohh ok. May be due to conflict of interest. UiPath have their own product now document understanding.

Thank you for sharing the details :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks,
Ashok :slightly_smiling_face:

Yeah, They have suggested Document Understanding.

Thanks for your help @ashokkarale :slightly_smiling_face:
