Is there good OCR in Forge?
Question
Application Type
Reactive

Hi there,

i am trying to extract text from image using this component:

https://www.outsystems.com/forge/component-reviews/8168

Unfortunately, it does not work well.

And i try this link https://www.imagetotext.info/

and it perfect.

Is there an ocr component like this last one? or can i create one using C#?

thanks

Hi have you tried the Google Cloud Vision API? There is a component available for it: Google Cloud Vision OCR

Looking more closely, I see that both the initial component you mentioned (client-side using JS) and the one I suggested (using extensions) rely on Tesseract models.

By the way, you might find this GitHub repository helpful: https://github.com/naptha/tesseract.js. It’s quite active and likely more up-to-date, which could improve performance.

Another option is to integrate the API from https://www.imagetotext.info/, if that fits your needs.

You might also consider commercial SDKs like GdPicture.NET or ABBYY OCR.

Please check if this component helps: @ https://www.outsystems.com/forge/component-overview/14506/image-ocr-utility-o11. There’s a Try Now option available to test your images.
