OCR Process multiple files in a flow.

Posted on by 2

Hi all, I have searched many threads and cannot find one that answers my question. I am trying to create a flow that does the following:

- Loads a list of files (images) from sharepoint

- Then use OCR to process each one of them in series.

- Output the filename and the text results into a single excel file.

I can create a flow that works for one image but have not found a way to do multiple. 

I can create an array using List Folder and output all the filenames onto a new row in the excel sheet.

The flow I have here, it picks up all of the file names and feeds them to the array, I just cannot work out how to then feed them into OCR.

Thanks for your help. Apologies if this is already covered somewhere in the depths of the forum, I just have not found the answer.

    @JoshMG , did you ever get your flow to work? We are trying to do something similar and have run into the same issue!

    Hi @nscates yes I got it to work. this is the solution, 

    First part of flow, initialise some variables for the file name and another for the text extracted by OCR connector.

    Then apply a loop to add a row into a table. Inside that loop, use append to string variable and set the value as the text from OCR.

    I then deleted the file, but at this point, do what you like with the file. I deleted it to keep the sharepoint library clean. 

     

     

    See how you go.
