Procedure

  1. Run the IQ Bot installer.
  2. Install the Tegaki API OCR engine for the On-Premises version on your machine based on instructions received from your Automation Anywhere representative.

    1. Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Automation Anywhere IQ Bot\Configurations.
    2. Set up the Tegaki API endpoint where you have installed the On-Premises version. Set APIKey = <your key here> and configure the TegakiOCREngineSettings.json file.
      {
  "APIKey": "<ensure your key meets UUID format (https://www.uuidgenerator.net)>”,
  "RestEndpointURL": "<your Tegaki Server URL here>”,
  "RestEndpointPort": <80>,
  "EngineType": 3,
  "EnableFieldMerging": false,
  "EnableFieldRegions": false,
  "DebuggingFolder": "C:\\Users\\Public\\Documents\\Automation Anywhere IQBot Platform\\Logs\\Engine\\Tegaki"
}
