FAQs

Frequently asked questions about the Convert Photo to Text:

What do I need to set up?

Add fields for the photo file ID, converted text, and review status. Choose which pending requests enter the text-needed view. Give the Agent access to those requests and linked photos.

Will this Agent decide whether to approve the request?

No. Your approver checks the converted text against the photo and makes the approval decision.

What happens if part of the photo is hard to read?

The Agent keeps the legible text in reading order and marks uncertain passages. Your approver can check those passages against the photo.

What if the photo cannot be opened?

The converted text stays empty. Your coordinator sees the file or access problem in the request's review status.

What happens when the Agent is unsure?

It stops and asks you. The Agent does not guess when it reaches a decision you have not approved.

Can I review its work?
