TextRecognizer SelectedText not available function

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I am using the AIBuilder to extract text from a site photo. I can upload the photo and the AIBuilder pics up the text I want but I cannot extract that to a usable format

What data sources need to be loaded? SelectedText is not an available function when using TextRecognizer.

    HI @Anonymous ,

     

    Here's another link on the forum that my help you on your issue.

    you can extract all the text detected by the Text Recognizer control by using the formula: TextRecognizer2.Results.Text

    Hope it helps.

    Thanks !

    Thanks for sharing.

     

    You can use Data Table instead of Label.

     

    Select + Insert > Search Data table (preview)
    Select DataTable1 > from the formula bar TextRecognizer1.Results
    From the right pane > Edit Fields > + Add Field > Choose a field > Text
