In this video, you will learn how to get data from a Citrix apps in an image format by creating a workflow that would convert images into text.
You are going to learn scraping data using an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) techniques, where an image is converted into text. You will also be introduced to the Screen Scraper Wizard where you will see two options in scraping data: Native and OCR. For image or Citrix automations only OCR is relevant.
When we extract data from Citrix, there are data that cannot be captured by using a regular keyboard and mouse actions. It needs a special software to extract the data. This is when we use the OCR. UiPath provides this capability. UiPath uses a default OCR engine from Google – Teserract, but we strongly recommend to use Microsoft’s MODI. You can install it in the Settings Section of UiPath.
