Capture text value through AISense Recorder

Passive texts are texts that are readable only. To make decisions, bots might require extracting texts, for example, key-value pair or text value from a form. If the AISense Recorder cannot detect the texts automatically, then you must use the Define option to detect the texts.

Capture the text value

  1. On the left pane, click Automation.
  2. To create a bot, click Create new > Bot or open a bot for which you want to record a task.
  3. Click Start recording.

    The Recorder bot runtime window appears.

  4. Select a window from the drop-down list.

    If you opened an application recently and it is not available in the list, click the Refresh icon.

  5. Click AISense Recorder and allow the scanning process to finish.
    Note: The AISense Recorder downloads the required dependent files the first time you use it on a device.

    The AISense Recorder toolbar appears with these options: Finish, Scan, Define, and Pause.

    The AISense Recorder analyzes the selected application window to identify the UI objects in that window. When the system is analyzing the application window, the options on the toolbar are unavailable. After the analysis completes, the options are enabled and you can start recording the task.

  6. Wait for the AISense Recorder to detect the object.
  7. If the object is not detected automatically, then when the AISense Recorder reaches the Ready state, you can click the Define button to detect the object.
    Note:
    • In the Define window, the AISense Recorder shows embedded help for each control type so you can select the correct control types for custom objects.
    • If you unintentionally click the screen or click before the highlighter appears, AISense Recorder provides visibility into it. You must confirm to capture the object again, or use the Define functionality to define the object on the screen.
    .
  8. Select Text value from the Select the object type for the selected area tab.
  9. Draw a rectangle around the text area that you want to extract.

    The selected area is shown in the box below the Drag and select the area which you want to define from the image field.

  10. Hover the mouse cursor over the nearby static text. Once the text is highlighted, select the static text as the supporting anchor.

    The image of the anchor is shown in the box below the Select one supporting anchor point for the selected area field.

  11. Click Define.
  12. After you have captured the required objects, click Finish.

Known behavior

AISense Recorder cannot extract texts with multiple lines. If you select multiple lines, only the first line is extracted.
