Text Recognition Properties

You can set the Object/Element's properties to be identified by Text Recognition. This is an image based recognition that uses OCR (Optical Character recognition) algorithm to get text from an image.

Note

As this is an image based recognition, it is not recommended and should be used only as a back up.

To enable Text recognition for an element on the Object repository:

Step 1: Extract the element to the repository.

Step 2: Edit the element on the repository.

Example:

We will enable the text recognition properties for the 'Username' Text Field. Element is already on the Object Repository.

  1. Right click on the 'Username' Object and click on 'Edit Element'.
