`UiPath.AmazonRekognition.Activities.DetectLabels`

The **Detect Text** activity uses the Amazon Rekognition [DetectText](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/rekognition/latest/dg/API_DetectText.html) API to detect the words, lines, and text found in the input image (**ImagePath** or **ImageURL**).

The output of the **Detect Text** activity can be an array of words and/or lines (**Words** and **Lines**), and/or an aggregate of all text found in the image (**Text**).
