Action
Bardeen's workflow automation for Dropbox allows you to effortlessly extract text from images stored in your account, enhancing your personal productivity. In today's fast-paced business environment, quickly retrieving information from visuals and graphics can be critical. This workflow is intended for users who need to digitize text content from images for editing, sharing, or archiving.
Here is how the workflow operates:
- Step 1: Find Dropbox file - The workflow begins by locating the image file in Dropbox, based on the file name you provide. Dropbox is a cloud storage service that lets you bring your photos, docs, and videos anywhere and share them easily.
- Step 2: Extract text from image - Once the file is found, Bardeen extracts the text from the image using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology. This step converts the visual information into editable text.
How to run the playbook
Typing out the text on an image is a very tedious and time-consuming process. It is prone to errors and wastes too much precious time you could be spending more productively.
This automation takes care of this problem for you! It uses BardeenAI to get text from an image that is saved in Dropbox, helping you quickly access the text on an image without having to type it.
This can save valuable time and effort, and also eliminate the risk of human error in the transcription process. Whether you are a small business owner, a freelancer, or a large corporation, this automation can help you access the information you need quickly.
