If you need OCR in an RPA platform, the usual options are:
1) Built-in OCR
Most RPA tools include OCR capabilities, such as:
- UiPath: Microsoft OCR, Google OCR, OmniPage OCR
- Automation Anywhere: IQ Bot / document automation, OCR actions
- Power Automate Desktop: built-in text extraction / OCR connectors
- Blue Prism: OCR via surface automation or integrated providers
2) External OCR engines
If built-in OCR is not accurate enough, integrate:
- Tesseract (open source)
- Google Cloud Vision OCR
- Microsoft Azure Computer Vision / Document Intelligence
- AWS Textract
- ABBYY FineReader / Vantage
3) Best practices
- Preprocess images: crop, deskew, increase contrast, remove noise
- Use the right OCR for the document type:
- General text → standard OCR
- Forms / invoices / tables → document AI tools like Azure Form Recognizer or AWS Textract
- Validate OCR output with regex, rules, or human review for low-confidence fields
4) Common RPA use cases
- Invoice processing
- Reading scanned PDFs
- Extracting text from screenshots
- Processing IDs, receipts, shipping labels
- Capturing data from legacy desktop apps
If you want, I can recommend the best OCR option for your specific RPA platform and document type.
