OCR

Each OCR engine is tailored to deliver efficient and effective optical character recognition, regardless of your specific needs or deployment. This page provides information on the supported languages for UiPath® OCR engines:
  • UiPath Document OCR: default UiPath OCR, which receives regular updates and improvements. You can use it on either GPU or CPU, delivering the same level of accuracy in both cases.
  • UiPath Document OCR_CPU: specially optimized to run on CPU.
  • UiPath Extended Languages OCR: capable of processing documents in over 200 languages, especially in Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, major Indian languages, and languages that use the Cyrilic or Greek alphabets.
Tip: Choosing the right OCR engine for your documents is simple. By default, use the UiPath Document OCR, which benefits from regular updates and improvements. If this doesn't support your document language or it's not performing as expected, switch to one of our other OCR engines, like the UiPath Extended Languages OCR.
