Scan a text off an image

Questions & Suggestions
1

Hi,

Not sure if this is possible with KM using some sort of script but what I want to do is:

I have a clear small printscreen image with a clear name spelled out i.e. "SAM" from word file

I want KM to look at this image and write out the word that it sees in the image.

Is 2018 too early for this? Is it possible?

Thanks in advance

KM does not have a native OCR tool, which is what you need.

However, there are many OCR tools available, some that will work from the command line.
If you can find the OCR tool you like, then just put it in a Execute a Shell Script action which will return the text to a KM Variable.

Then it is easy to do many things with the text in the KM Variable.
