Power Automate for OCR

In the last post, I have explained how to use text recognizer fo the aim of detecting the text in a picture using the AI builder in Power Apps.

In this post and video, you will how to call it in Power Automate and extract the text from an image that is located in Onedrive and the result will be written back in Azure Blob Storage.

To start open the Power Apps and click on the AI Builder and Build and choose the text recognition.

then use the option the use in flow (Power Automate)

 

 

Next, in the Power Automate, click on the flow and create a new flow with a trigger of the When a file is created.

Next, the Predict module with the Model: TerxtRecognition model and the image from the previous trigger.

Next, use the Create blob for the output in Microsoft Azure.

for the name of the file, I will put the current time plus the file type that is a text file

Next, for the Blob content, use the function concat and from the Dynamic content select the PredictionOutput.

All done!

just put an image file like this on in the folder in one drive and run the flow to see the result in the blob storage!
