I need to be able to get thunkable to recognise & read text in an image with said text (it’ll also be handwriting so i’m not sure if that’s pushing my luck a little too much)
Then I need the app to read said text out loud (although I think that might not be a problem if I can recognise the text)
PS: is it possible to highlight/select text in the image and/or recognise its color? thanks
update: i used a few tutorials on thunkable as reference, but i still can’t seem to figure out how to get the text obtained/detected from the ocr to appear on a label. any help?
What OCR service are you using?
Can you show your codes or what you have tried so far?
I’m using free ocr api (the one @jacob1 used in their post about barcode scanners)
I need the app to be able to recognise text from an image then put it on a label- the code I’ve tried so far:
thanks <3
According to the OCR site this is the link you need to use to get info
https://api.ocr.space/parse/imageurl?apikey=YourAPIKey&url=http://YourImageFile
You should get the response something like this
{"ParsedResults":[{"TextOverlay":{"Lines":[],"HasOverlay":false,"Message":"Text overlay is not provided as it is not requested"},"TextOrientation":"0","FileParseExitCode":1,"ParsedText":"GAVE AWAY MY BOOK\r\nFREE ON\r\nREACHED TOP OF AMAZON\r\nBESTSELLER\r\n","ErrorMessage":"","ErrorDetails":""}],"OCRExitCode":1,"IsErroredOnProcessing":false,"ProcessingTimeInMilliseconds":"390","SearchablePDFURL":"Searchable PDF not generated as it was not requested."}
You should read ParsedText to get the result of the OCR.
