Is it possible for the TextRecognizer control in the Power App to directly call the image captured by the camera control? I haven't found a good way to do this right now. I think this is a useful feature.

hi @SZ-14081525-0

I am not sure what you mean by "call the image".

Please give a clear use case with steps.

Not on desktop, but if you click the upload button on a mobile device, the device will give the option to upload an existing pic from the gallery or take a new photo with the device's in-built camera app, in the same way as adding an attachment to an email from the mobile browser. It's handled by the device and Windows just serves up a file explorer window. There's doesn't seem to be a way of pointing the control to an image source except the Default Image property which looks like something of a placeholder that you can't actually OCR.
