UiPath OCR questions

[andreus91]

Hi all,

a simple question.

within the process I have to extract data from pdfs using “Read pdf with OCR”

using uipath’s ocr engine:

1. has an additional cost, or is it free?
2. has a limitation on the number of pages, e.g. characters it can read?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Some engines are free: Omnipage,Microsoft,Tesseract
I’ve never heard about page limit in this activity. You can extract all pages or define page range

Best Regards

[andreus91]

and what about uipath OCR?

@alexcabuz

There is no change in the licensing or pricing. UiPath Document OCR remains free to use with no restrictions for all customers with Enterprise license of Document Understanding product. Customers with Community licenses can still use it with some limitations.

in this case I have an enterprise licence but not the document understanding licence…

@andreus91 ,

Could you Check the below Documentation :

OCR Services

As Highlighted they do mention it’s free but again not quite sure if it’s free along with the Document Understanding License.

To further Check maybe you could Install the Package as mentioned and check if you are able to use UiPath Document OCR Activity without Endpoints and API key.
