FAQs

Frequently asked questions about the Extract Image Text:

Which image files can I use?

You can use JPEG or PNG files in your chosen intake folder. The Agent skips other file types without creating a document.

Can I choose how the text is formatted?

You choose verbatim transcription or light formatting during setup. The document keeps the text in reading order either way.

What happens if an image is hard to read?

Your team sees [Needs review] beside uncertain passages. If nothing is legible, the document links to the image and calls for manual transcription.

What if the image or document cannot be opened?

Your team gets the file ID if image access fails. If document writing fails, they get the file ID and any document link so they can finish or remove it.

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?
