Recognize text in an image and then populate a Microsoft List - by LINE & COLUMN

Hi,

 

I'm new to Power Automate so apologies in advance.

 

My ultimate aim is for Power Automate to convert handwriting to text, populate the text to a List and then populate specific areas of a Word document.

 

I have successfully completed this using 'Recognize Text in an Image' connector. The  extracted text then populates a column in a Sharepoint List and then via a separate automated flow the new entry within the Lists prompts a Word template to be populated.

 

The problem I have is that for each handwritten LINE I want it to populate a specific column in the Sharepoint List. At the moment I can only get ALL the handwriting to be populated, not specific lines - even though the Apply to Each does recognise there are different lines. So place LINE 1 in a specific column, LINE 2 in a specific column, etc. 

 

Thanks!

Can you show the output of the OCR connector?

Hi @Chriddle ,

 

Much appreciated.

The 'recognize text from an image' is working but then adding 6 separate entries to the Microsoft List - see screenshot.

As I note, ideally I want like Line 1 to be placed in a specifc column within the List, Line 2 to a different column, etc.

But what does the output JSON code from the 'recognize text from an image' look like?

Hi @Chriddle,

 

Sorry please see attached - help gratefully received.

That's not what I asked for.

Pls. run the flow and show the output of the 'recognize text from an image' connector.

That's not a valid JSON 😉

Thanks for trying to help - I'm obviously unsure what you are asking for. After running a manual test, I've extracted the 'Code View' from the 'recognize text from an image" connector. Clearly incorrect so where do I get the JSON code from?

I am talking about this:

You should familiarize yourself with tools like this https://jsonlint.com

This time it was just a minor issue and I fixed it 😉

 

Here is a sample flow showing how you can address this problem.

In particular, the way I created the result within Apply to Each can be simplified (e.g. if you always have 2 columns, like in your example).

 

 

This is the first Compose's Input. (Your JSON with the fixed double quote):

The first Select reduced the item to the properties we need (text and top).

This is just to make the expressions simpler.

From:

 

first(outputs('Compose')['responsev2']['predictionOutput']['results'])['Lines']

 

Map Text:

 

item()['Text']

 

Map Top:

 

item()['boundingBox']['top']

 

 

Select 2 calculates if an item starts a new line by checking if its top value is greater than the previous item's top value (here the difference must be greater than 0.04)

From:

 

range(0, length(body('Select')))

 

Map Test:

 

body('Select')[item()]['Text']

 

Map IsRowStart:

 

or(
	equals
	(
		item(),
		0
	),
	greater(
		sub(
			body('Select')[item()]['Top'],
			body('Select')[sub(item(), 1)]['Top']
		),
		0.04
	)
)

 

 

Initialize variable

An aray variable named "Rows"

 

Initialize variable 2

A string variable named SingleRow

 

Apply to each loops over the body of Select 2:

 

body('Select_2')

 

 

Condition checks if it's a new row:

 

items('Apply_to_each')['IsRowStart']

 

 is equal to

 

true

 

 

If yes,

 in the Append to array variable SingleRow to the Rows array

 

variables('SingleRow')

 

 

and Set variable SingleRow to the current item's Text

 

items('Apply_to_each')['Text']

 

 

If no,

in the Append to string variable we add a space and the current item's Text to SingleRow

 

concat(
	' ',
	items('Apply_to_each')['Text']
)

 

 

After the Apply to each we have to add the last SingleRow to Rows with Append to array variable 2

 

variables('SingleRow')

 

 

The final Compose 2 skips the first item in Rows (it's empty)

 

skip(variables('Rows'), 1)

Hi @Chriddle , thanks so much for your patience and assistance - it is great appreciated!

Hi @Chriddle,

 

As before thanks so much for your help.

 

One question - on the flow for for the first Select you appear to have manual flow connectors entitled 'Text' and 'BoundingBox' but I can't locate them from the options? Sorry, it's probably something so simple.

I assume this is a UI display flaw.
These are just the expressions described above:

Map Text:

item()['Text']

Map Top:

item()['boundingBox']['top']

 

Thanks @Chriddle as ever.

 

Sorry, but I'm just the attached message when I test the flow on my first Select. I've run a check of the code and it appears to be correct?

Thanks again.

 

The Input of your Compose is wrong. It's not JSON formatted 😉

Check it wtih the above mentioned validator tool. (Or just use my JSON from above)
