Scanned PFD Reading

Help

Hey All,

Do you think it’s possible to read the data in the following screenshot taken from a scanned document, apart from using Abbyy Flexicapture, what other options can I use.

I have tried the read pdf with OCR (Microsft & Tessaract) and it brings back weird characters.

@SenzoD, There is a limitation to data extraction from non-computer generated PDF’s. Depending on gray scale quality or the scan quality accuracy of data extraction varies.

Without Abbyy or other OCR & ICR engines average accuracy is less that 60%

Thanks @Ragu9060

The reason why i couldn’t find UiPath.ScreenOCR.Activities was because Official was not checked, and I followed these steps to find it.

In Studio, click Home; Setting, and then Manage Sources, then check official: refer to the screenshots below:
