HI @sushildarveshi

I hope you’d have resolved this by now, but in case now, you need to click on settings and check Official from there. Once done it will be reflected under all packages, just like local and Orchestrator Host. :slight_smile:

I hope this activity have allowedcharacters,deniedcharacters options,like GoogleOCR,becuase in some scenario,It’s must be some fixed characters,it may be increase the OCR success rate.

Hi @Cosin,

Hope you are doing well. I have a question. I tried this activity with Get OCR Text. It is giving the desired results. Though I have 2 questions:

  1. it has option of API Key, currently it is blank and is working as well. Do we need any API key in future ?
  2. Is this OCR cloud based ?

regards,

I would like to use this activity to select fields on a word file, is that possible?
