Is there a reliable ocr activity to scan pdfs?

ive tried using read PDF with OCR activity, and it reads some files and misses others. is there any better OCR activities that just read the entire thing better?

Hi @Anthony2,
Which ocr engine using in Read PDF With OCR activity.

@Anthony2

If you have the license you can try with different ocrs …epending on resolution …type of file like scanned,digital etc different ocrs would give different results…generally teseract and UiPath ocr gives better results

The UiPath OCR is pretty decent from experience but depends on your licensing / what you are using.

I recommend Google Cloud Vision OCR. It is one of the best options available in the market at a reasonable cost.

You will need to generate an API Key to use it in https://console.cloud.google.com/ The first 1K calls are free, and then you’ll be charged

Hope it helps
