Make sure to define the following properties:

• Image in both Take Screenshot Part and Tessarect OCR.
• Text for the Tesseract OCR output (e.g., outputText) and its corresponding variable as String in Data Manager.

Configuration

Designer panel

• Indicate Region - indicate the part of the mobile device screen that you want to take a screenshot of.
• CoordinatesType - Choose how to set the target coordinates. You can select one of the following:
  • PhysicalPixels - Use this option for workflows using a single device. Since the indication corresponds to actual pixels on the screen, it's different for each device.
  • DeviceIndependentPixels - Use this option to run workflows on devices with similar density screens. Device-independent pixels means that you are indicating a target based on the pixel density of the selected screen area.
• EndPointX - Set a screenshot ending point for your X axis on the device screen.
• EndPointY - Set a screenshot ending point for your Y axis on the device screen.
• StartPointX - Set a screenshot starting point for your X axis on the device screen.
• StartPointY - Set a screenshot starting point for your Y axis on the device screen.

Properties panel

Common

• ContinueOnError - Specifies if the automation should continue even when the activity throws an error. This field only supports Boolean values (True, False). The default value is False. As a result, if the field is blank and an error is thrown, the execution of the project stops. If the value is set to True, the execution of the project continues regardless of any error.
  Note: If this activity is included in Try Catch and the value of the ContinueOnError property is True, no error is caught when the project is executed.
• DelayAfter - Delay time (in seconds) after executing the activity. The default value is 0.3 seconds.
• DelayBefore - Delay time (in seconds) before the activity begins performing any operations. The default value is 0.2 seconds.
• DisplayName - The display name of the activity.
• Timeout - specifies the amount of time (in seconds) to wait for a specified element to be found before an error is thrown. The default value is 30 seconds.
