Convert Image to Text in Cell

M. Lynn

Is anyone familiar with any integrations that will convert the text from an image to fields in a sheet? Example: Use a form to take a picture of a business card, then the integration read that card and populate the name, email, etc. I know there are several tools out there that do this, but haven't seen one that integrates with Smartsheet.

Hi @M. Lynn

I hope you're well and safe!

You could combine the Parser Service with a 3rd-party service like Zapier, Power Automate, or the Smartsheet API.

Would any of those options work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

@Andrée Starå Are you sure that Zapier has an image parser integration? I looked through their integrations the other day and I didn't see any. The integrations that I have seen with Power Automate are to convert images into searchable PDFs. I may have missed it and if it is a possibility I want to know about it!

Zapier doesn't have one, but for example, Docparser integrates with it.

@M. Lynn and @Garrett Henke , if this is still a requirement, please check out our Intelligent Document Processing Module (File-to-Text-Extractor) as add-on specialised for Smartsheet.

Happy to support.
