Looks like you need to actually download it from the ABBYY website, but there's a 'Link to Asset' button on the page I linked to above on the Digital Exchange.

Hi Nishant,

Unfortunately, there is no out-of-the-box VBO available for ABBYY Flexicapture Cloud at this time. However, if you are up for the challenge, ABBYY provides a Flexicapture Cloud SDK that provides REST APIs that you can call from within a BP code stage. You can find more information about the SDK at https://www.abbyy.com/en-us/cloud-ocr-sdk/. Further information on the API can be found at https://www.abbyy.com/en-us/flexicapture-cloud/.

If you are not familiar with using code stages, we have a 10 minute video to walk you through the process at https://digitalexchange.blueprism.com/site/global/developer/learn.gsp. It is currently the first video on the list titled "Integrating Blue Prism with SAP using Code Stages and BAPI". While the video specifically demonstrates connecting to SAP using code stages, the concept of calling APIs is exactly the same. I hope this helps!

@Nishant Jain,

It was a slow weekend, so I spent some time putting together two implementations of the ABBYY Cloud OCR API. There are two because ABBYY has an XML version (v1) and a JSON version (v2). These have not been extensively tested, but they should get you moving. I made a small assumption that you are on Blue Prism v6.4 or later. Both of these are implemented as Web API services which only work with v6.4 or later.

Please reference the links @Madhur Chopra provide for further details regarding optional parameters for the API.

Cheers,
​​
