OCR Conversion

The OCR Conversion action converts a specified file in PDF, TIFF, JPEG, or PNG format to text.

The OCR Conversion action may not be available on all boards by default. If you need this action and do not see it in the module builder, contact support@tonkean.com.

Name the Action Block

Select the action title or the edit icon, blue_edit_pencil.png, and provide a descriptive title for the action.

Turn Action Block On or Off

By default, action blocks are enabled and turned on. Select the toggle in the top right of the action panel to disable or turn it off.

When building a module, remember you can toggle actions on and off rather than deleting them.
