Which activity should we use to fetch text from cheque image?

[Samraat_Maharjan1 (Samraat Maharjan)]

I need to fetch account number and name of that cheque and insert in some field. The cheque is uploaded in the form of Photo.

@Samraat_Maharjan1

have you tried reading the image using read pdf with ocr activity

gives you the output as string

from the string you can extract the account number

Hi @Samraat_Maharjan1

You can use read pdf with ocr activity and use regex
or
Use digitze document (intilligentOCR activities) then use extract data using regex

Try with computer vision activities that san interact with images easily

For all other activities

Hi @Samraat_Maharjan1

You can try with Get OCR activity

Check out this thread

Extracting Data from All documents of same type

Hi @Seema_Jethe , Here is solution for your requirement. Step 1: Keep all the cheque image files in a folder and loop through to open images one by one. Step 2: Follow the below OCR based activity to get the specific value from the image file. [c1] [c2] Hope this will help you. Thank you.

@Gokul001 when I try to use get ocr. It would select whole text but I need to select only account number and name

Hi @Samraat_Maharjan1

No problem. Extract the whole text from the cheque and we can use Regex expression to extract the account number and name from that.

Share the dummy format after extracting the text from the Cheque

@Gokul001

You can try this cheque and try to extract name and account number.

@Gokul001

I used the same code but I am only getting this. Also what API Key have you used and why?

I actually wanted to fetch name instead of amount

[Samraat_Maharjan1 (Samraat Maharjan)]

@tazunnisa.badavide since I have to read the text from different cheque which will be in image form. I don’t think I can use this feature.

[tazunnisa.badavide (Taj)]

This is the required output right?

i Believe,You can follow these steps inorder to get these as the output

To Extract name out of it use this pattern (?<=\d{16}\s)[A-Z\s]+

[Samraat_Maharjan1 (Samraat Maharjan)]

@tazunnisa.badavide yes, that’s what I needed but with that activity, I need to upload a cheque every time. I got an image of the cheque on the website itself. I just want to fetch name and account number from it.
