IQ Bot 11.x: Use Google Vision API OCR engine
Use the Google Vision API OCR engine with IQ Bot to improve the accuracy of the optical character recognition (OCR) results for training documents in Asian languages, particularly in Japanese and Korean. Google Vision API OCR engine in IQ Bot supports all languages supported by the engine.
Prerequisites
Verify that the default port 443 is available to enable communication for the API endpoint using TCP.
- It is a cloud OCR engine.
- Google Vision API does not support documents with more than one language. Before using this feature, ensure you want to primarily extract Japanese or Korean text only.
- Languages
that are written right to left, rather than left to right, are not supported
within IQ Bot for document extraction. For example, Arabic,
Aramaic, Azeri, Divehi, Fula, Hebrew, Kurdish, N'ko, Persian, Rohingya,
Syriac, and Urdu.
Prior to this release, the engine primarily supported data extraction for Japanese and Korean text only.
- Data is not stored in Google Cloud and is removed immediately.
