How to read data from Electricity Meter?

You can use Microsoft Vision but this requires an Azure Subscription. You can sign up for free and use up to 5000 requests to their Azure Vision API

Hello @MadhuK,

The IntelligentOCR package , if you need to extract information from those PDFs as well (not only get machine readable version from them - for this the PDF package suffices).

Pls have a look on the UiPath Academy for the Document Understanding course just launched to go through how to do document processing and data extraction.

Hope this helps,

Ioana
