Tesseract package has to be donwloaded?

Hi Allan.

Been trying to get the text from a window, I finally got the hang of it (first use a get element activity, then a take a screenshot, then print item.Value to test it), but when I run the flow, this is what it shows in the output window

Downloading file from ‘https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata/raw/main/eng.traineddata’ to ‘C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\OpenRPA\tessdata\eng.traineddata’

Does this mean that openrpa has to have access to github? I know it might sound unfeasible, but the machine I am working on has limited internet access. Is there any workaround that does not need to look for tools online?

The thing I want to do is search a text in a field in a windows application, and then search for a keyword in order to know what to do next.

Edit: now that I mention it, the workflow is being saved in the machine because it doesn’t have access to the internet (it says “NM : offline”), so I have to export the project into a json in order to open it in other machines, right?

No. If you want to use OpenCV, it needs the training data to work. But you can download the file from a different machine and place it in the location mentioned.

No, nm: offline means OpenRPA is not connected to Chrome/Edge or Firefox.

You can install OpenCore at a place where OpenRPA can see it. This will allow you to share workflows and data the way the system was intended. If you don’t need that type of functionality, you can run OpenRPA in “offline” mode, without OpenCore as explained here. In that case, you will need to use export/import using JSON files.

Thank you, Allan.

Still, every time I run the bot it still throws that message in the output log, and it doesn’t show the text of what I’m trying to read. I have tried with both take screenshot and get image activities inside the get element from windows. So, it doesn’t show anything.

I’ve been looking some youtube videos of yours showing the process, so I find it weird it tries to download the data.

Like I wrote, OpenCV will not work without the training data. So either allow OpenRPA to download the file, or download it yourself and place it in the path you see in the message.

Sorry, misread your post.
Thanks for the answer.
