Text Recognition

After a successful scan or import of a document, you can get the detected text of the entire document or single pages.

Get the detected text​

In order to get the detected text of the entire document, call the following line of code:

//...
//scan a document
//...

try{
    const text = await DocutainSDKPromisify.getText();
}catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
}

In order to get the detected text of a specific page, call the following line of code and specify the page number:

//...
//scan a document
//...

try{
    const text = await DocutainSDKPromisify.getTextPage(1);
}catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
}
