I’ve been working with different OCR engines for more than 10 years and the best results with handwritten documents I’ve seen were from Google Cloud Vision OCR

You can try it before obtaining an API through the web page:

I indicated the link in previous post. This web allows you to try recognition and results. Google Cloud Vision has other features apart from OCR that in this case won’t be used

The API is the “channel of communication” available from Google to your application in your case, your UiPath robot. But don’t worry because UiPath activities are already prepared to communicate to Google you will just have to indicate an API Key obtained from Google Cloud Console.
