UIPath RPA scrape data from images

Question

I have a list of images that I am currently looping through.

Is it possible to have a command where I can put in the location of the text that I am trying to extract or show it with something like Citrix Scrape on what data I want to take out?

Answer 1

One way to go about is by using the 'Get OCR Text' action which requires you to provide a UI element. One simple option is to loop over all images, then open them in an image viewer of your choice, and then use the Text -> Scrape Relative to extract your invoice number into a variable.

Desktop Recorder can be used for performing all of the above actions . You will have to adjust the Selectors, as the Recorder usually considers the text the application title as well . You can just open another invoice in your application, then open the Selector and Attach to Live Element to let UiPath work out the Selector for you - which works just fine in most cases.
