OCR with PDF using Appsheet integrations

[Leandro87]

Hi all, I'm trying to build an OCR model that ingests different values from multipages PDF into an Appsheet table. I failed using the native OCR model of Appsheet, therefore I'm wondering if there are some cloud services supported by Appsheet that I can use to read the PDF and acquire the values using "integrations".

I hope anyone can help me. 

It's umbelievable that Appsheet OCR model doesn't support PDF.

Thanks,

Leandro

Hi,

You can connect external ocr model with Appsheet by Apps Script code. I made ocr app for scan receipts some time ago and it works great. In short description, after saving image on google drive, appsheet calls script. Script sends saved image to ocr model by API and receive json response. Then script scrapes data from json and adds data to spreadsheet. I will write a post about it soon.

I'm currently creating an ocr model in google cloud and I will try similar solution with this model
