We were founded in 2005 in a tiny apartment in Bucharest, Romania as DeskOver.

Fittingly, it was a customer who, in 2012, first saw the immense possibilities for us in the fledgling RPA market. Our desktop automation product launched in 2013. In 2015, we introduced our enterprise platform along with our new name.

Today, UiPath is the fastest-growing enterprise software company in history with scores of offices, thousands of employees, partnerships with the world’s best consulting and BPO firms, a 500,000-strong developer community, and 5MM+ robots at work in over 5,000 global enterprises.

Our mission is to deliver the leading Robotic Process Automation platform to our clients for an automation first mindset.

We build software robots that automate repetitive processes. Our software robots take on the tedious, mind-numbing work and free people to do the more stimulating, creative work worth doing.

But no matter how much we’ve grown, one thing hasn’t changed. We’re still building a company we love to work for

Amazon Textract is a service that automatically extracts text and data from scanned documents. Amazon Textract goes beyond simple optical character recognition (OCR) to also identify the contents of fields in forms and information stored in tables.

The Amazon Textract activities give you the ability to automate interactions with the Amazon Textract service. Using the Amazon Textract APIs, the 5 activities in this package provide the following text and document analysis capabilities:

Extract text from single and multipage documents


Analyze documents to detect items such as key-value pairs, tables, and selection elements


Get the status of a document analysis operation


To learn more and get started, see the Amazon Textract documentation.

A set of activities that enables integration with Amazon Textract.

<p>Using these activities, how can we get the raw text word and line text from the document? Using these I understand how to get Key Value Pairs, and Table Data but I can't see how to get the full raw text words and lines. </p>

Hi do you hve a tutorial on how this work?

Getting below Error .. any clue why getting an expection

UiPath.Ipc.RemoteException wrapping System.NullReferenceException    at UiPath.Amazon.Textract.Activities.TextractAsyncActivity`1.AddTelemetryData(IOperationHolder`1 operation, PageDetail[] pages)

Ignore Error its working now...due to inappropriate image feed to it

FYI that version 2.0.0 has just been published.  This includes the ablity to obtain the raw JSON repsonse and more importantly, surfacing confidence scores so they are easily obtained as part of your results. More info + quick starts are at https://docs.uipath.com/integrations/docs/amazon-textract-about

Can anyone please help with following issue?

UiPath.Amazon.Activities.AmazoneScope is not able to fetch form data.

We are only able to read and print Table data but not Form data.

Is data that is send to A,azon and recieved back encripted? 

I'm running into some issues working with this package (v.2.0.0).

1. Using the "Analyze Multipage Document" activity, I manage to execute a full flow, however the results obtained in the output variable of type "PageDetailCollection" seems to contain no meaningful data. Here's the result of a ".RawJson" on this output variable:

{"Blocks":[], "DocumentMetadata": { "Pages": 1} }

2. I've tried using the series of activities: "Start Document Analysis", "Get Document Analysis Status" and "Get Document Analysis" to do the same thing. The first activity did generate an AWS job. I checked the results of the Job outside of UiPath and it was indeed a successful Textract job. However, it seems that the result of "Get Document Analysis" does not have the type expected by the activity:

Get Document Analysis: A value of type 'UiPath.Amazon.Textract.Client.Models.PageDetailCollection' cannot be set to the location with name 'Pages' because it is a location of type 'UiPath.Amazon.Textract.Client.Models.PageDetail[]'.

3. Both "Get Document Analysis" and "Analyze Multipage Document" throw the following error when the "DiscoverColumnHeaders" flag is active:

Get Document Analysis: Cannot find column 0.

Please note that the document analysis works on the given document when done from a local script using AWS client libraries. This points towards an issue with the UiPath activies. Any help or suggestion would be highly appreciated.

Doesn't work with PDF?  Amazon Textract does support PDF, but I get an error from this service saying "Invalid Document Type".  Can you update this package, or is there a code repo somewhere where we clone and can update ourselves?

Hi,

We are working on implementing a Invoice processing flow using Amazon Textract within Uipath. We are taking the asynchronous approach. It is erroring out at the "Get Document Analysis" stage with below message -

Get Document Analysis: A value of type 'UiPath.Amazon.Textract.Client.Models.PageDetailCollection' cannot be set to the location with name 'Pages' because it is a location of type 'UiPath.Amazon.Textract.Client.Models.PageDetail[]'.

Now the Get Document Analysis output by default creates a variable with Type "PageDetail[]" and not "PageDetailCollection" (this is the output of Analyze Multiple Documents stage but we are not using that).

Request your assistance in resolving this issue.

Regards

I need to only use the table extraction service and not the form extraction service since they both have different pricing on AWS. Is there a way we can differentiate this? Thanks

Thanks. Yes I saw your response. The Request Syntax has the key named "FeatureTypes": [ "string" ], which can have value TABLE | FORMS  The caller needs to call it with either TABLE or FORMS or both

Let me know if I can have a quick update on the customer activity for just this AnalyzeDocument https://docs.aws.amazon.com/textract/latest/dg/API_AnalyzeDocument.html

I am unable Uipath AWS Textract activity 2.1.0 and followed the steps given for IAM user and successfully generated client id and secret on AWS. It gives me following error. Can anyone help

I was wondering if we will have ability to change the API end point to private endpoint rather than pulblic end point

Introduces the ability to specify the AnalysisType; allowing perform specific extractions against Tables, Forms or All.

Fixed bug with Async activity "Get Document Analysis" where return type was of the incorrect type.

The previous version of the activity pack is deprecated. While you can continue to use it, it will no longer be updated. The latest version offers the ability to obtain confidence scores and line data as well as the ability to retrieve the raw JSON returned from the request.
