Parse JSON Error in Flow

Can't decipher this error and the resolution.

I am using Form Recognizer in Power Apps. I have a PA screen with a camera control, and image control, a Button control, and a TextInput control.

 

Camera saves image to Image control, button (with formula) generates JSON in TextInput field. I copy and paste the JSON into the Parse component of the Flow.

Here is a 'beautified' version of the business card JSON

array.

    Hi @Phineas ,

     

    The parse json action receives an empty object value and the schema of it required an array. Therefore the flow returns an error.

    And?

     

    Not to be rude, but if I couldn't figure out what you did why would you think I could take you - much appreciated, input and appropriately apply it?😂

     

    Hopefully you are magnanimous enough to share with me how I should approach this in a way that will allow me to accomplish my task.
