OCR search

OCR search is a special search modality, as it works independently of search sessions and can only be used as a standalone feature. It does not directly produce a part list as search results, but the text that was identified in the image. The text can then be used for text search with the performSearch function.

In addition to the cropped image, the organizations ID needs to be provided for starting the OCR process.

Partium.ocr.detectFromFile('<organization-id>', new JsPFile(imageBlob))
.subscribe((scannedTexts: string[]) => {
  // scannedTexts contains an array of al detected texts
});

info

OCR detection works best if the image is cropped to the text that should be detected.
