Optical recognition character

Post by jeremie_icl »

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to build a flow to store scaned files.
The goal is to recognize a number on the top of the sheet and to store it.
Is there an application to do it ?
Thanks for your help.

Assuming its an image and you need OCR to read the characters -- I don't know of any OCR software currently integrated with Switch -- but maybe someone out there has done it.

But there are a lot of cloud OCR services (I know AWS and Google Cloud have one). You could use the HTTP configurator or a script to build an integration into those. For reference, here are some scripts that use other AWS services via the AWS CLI: https://github.com/open-automation/switch-aws
Free Switch scripts: open-automation @ GitHub
Free Switch apps: open-automation @ Enfocus appstore

Want to hire me? I'm looking for my next gig. Contact me on LinkedIn or via email.

I'm almost sure that ABBYY FineReader has a hotfolder functionality and therefore can be integrated with Switch.

I may have something for you. I have just put together a script to recognise a Regular Expression (regex) in a PDF. Just have to tidy it up a bit but would that work for you?
