@harsha1123 - Please check if you have MODI installed (https://support.microsoft.com/en-in/help/982760/install-modi-for-use-with-microsoft-office-2010 ), as it is required to use Microsoft OCR.

This post might help.

Microsoft OCR ERROR

What Windows and what version of Studio are you using? Please check if you have MODI installed (Install MODI for use with Microsoft Office 2010), as it is required to use Microsoft OCR. Following @balupad14’ s suggestion, do you have the same problem with Google OCR?

[harsha1123 (Harshavardhan Reddy)]

@sreenivasm yes i have installed everything suggested in forum till now.

any micro soft related things need to be installed please let me know.

And thanks quick support.

@harsha1123 - After you installed, did you try again? Are you still facing the same issue as before?

[harsha1123 (Harshavardhan Reddy)]

Yes @sreenivasm
