OCR services

About OCR services

OCR services are used for the following purposes:

  • At data labeling time, when importing documents into Document Manager. The engines available for this step are UiPath Document OCR, Google Cloud Vision OCR, and Microsoft Read OCR.
  • At run time when calling models from RPA workflows. Visit OCR Engines to check the engines available for this step.

The table below shows how to configure the six supported OCR engine types in both Document Manager and AI Center.
