Deprecation of Tesseract OCR v3

IQ Bot will permanently discontinue Tesseract OCR v3 starting from Automation 360 v.26. This affects customers who have created learning instances using Tesseract OCR v3. We recommend that you plan to train your learning instances with alternative OCRs (including Tesseract OCR) before you update to Automation 360 v.26.

Removal of Tesseract OCR will affect the following product areas:
  • My Learning Instances page:
