You would be better off consuming an external OCR API or hosting your own OCR app.

08/18/2022, 3:55 PMHey, these are actually C# based OCR apps using Tesseract, not NS. I'd still advocate using an OCR API, be quicker to develop and more accurate as they are trained on millions of documents. It wouldn't be that hard to knock up a pretty nice application in Angular\SuiteScript\Azure OCR.
