Extracts a string and associated information about the textual content of document images. The UiPath Document OCR activity is optimized for usage on scanned documents and images of documents. The activity can be used in any document scenario in which an OCR engine is needed, for instance, the Digitize Document activity or the Read PDF With OCR activity.
