@ovi do you know if the preview period of uipath screen ocr is ended? because the activity just stopped working? in the update the activity doesn’t have an endpoint like the previous one

[tmays (Troy)]

Exact same error here. Process was running great using the UiPath Screen OCR engine preview and just stopped working on 1/23.

Was using 1.0.0-preview with https://beta-ocr.uipath.com/v1/images:annotate as the endpoint. Updated to 1.2.0-preview and like @luchovelez no endpoint but above endpoint doesn’t work either.

[luchovelez (Luis Velez)]

exactly this is the problem, i was ready for release a bot a production but this problem force me to use omnipage OCR but is not close to uipath screen results in time and precision

Hi everyone,

Please see my post here

UiPath Screen OCR: Now in Public Preview!

Hi @Jom4ick @luchovelez @VikasSteria We updated the first post. Please check it out: https://forum.uipath.com/t/uipath-screen-ocr-now-in-public-preview/174705?u=loginerror To get it to work, you now have to provide the CV API key which you can get from your Cloud Platform licensing tab.

[luchovelez (Luis Velez)]

what is the new endpoint?

[loginerror (Maciej Kuźmicz)]

You don’t need any, simply provide the API key and it should work.

[luchovelez (Luis Velez)]

the new endpoint is required but which is ?

[loginerror (Maciej Kuźmicz)]

Judging form your screenshot:

You placed the API Key in the wrong box. Leave the Endpoint field blank and put your key in the ApiKey field

[Mahashankari (Mahashankari Pazhani)]

If I leave the End Point as blank means it throws error.

[luchovelez (Luis Velez)]

do you have the last version of activity ?

[Mahashankari (Mahashankari Pazhani)]

Yes, It’s the latest one.

[luis.velez]

what is the last endpoint

[jerome.carbone]

I have the same error, again… The endpoint, previously https://beta-ocr.uipath.com/v1/images:annotate, don’t work since 1 week i think (“Origin DNS error” when i open manually).
Thanks for advices.

[jerome.carbone]

It’s work !
Solution :

• Generate API Key “Computer Vision” in Portal UiPath (admin>Licences>OtherLicences). More info in UiPath Screen OCR: Now in Public Preview!. This step is required (previous week : it was worked with the preview endpoint without API Key)
• Manage Project, and set endpoint : https://ocr.uipath.com/ and API Key
• Restart UiPath Studio !
• Test !
