My flow is not working. Asking for different type of variable.

I have the following flow:

What I am trying to do here is upload an image from Power Apps, an image that is taken within the same app, and have it write the text it sees in the image through text recognition. It takes a file submission from the Power App activation, and it takes the contentBytes from the text recognition. I have tested the flow and it works, but when I try to use it from within the app with the following code:

Set(varImgTxt, 'ImgToTextV2'.Run(varImage).textinimg)

It gives me an error with the Run(varImage), saying the following: Invalid argument type (Image). Expecting a Record value instead.

Not sure why it is asking for a Record, and I can not seem to fix it. Any assistance would be appreciated 🙂 thanks in advance.

@Carrasco726 Can you try replacing Run(varImage) with
Run( { file: { name: varImage.FileName, contentBytes: varImage.Media } } )

So I watched it, changed everything. Even deleted my whole flow, but it still does not work. I ended up with the same flow Shane Young has:
I try to run this through Power Apps just like he does, but I end up with the same error. The more I research and try to solve this issue, the more confused I become lol.

Where have you assigned the ImgToTextV3.Run() function? Also, can you share more detailed screenshots that includes names of controls and the flow?
I tried the same with below code on select of a button, and the flow ran successfully without any errors.
