I’m looking for an automation recipe that does the following:

TRIGGER: New image file inside Google Drive folder

AUTOMATIONS: 1) Run OCR on image, 2) Extract text from image, 3) Paste that extracted text into the image’s description area in Google Drive.

Hi @TLoo 

Good question.

There are some Zap apps that do OCR: https://zapier.com/apps

GDrive can do OCR for an image but that’s an advanced approach.

 

To update a GDrive File description, you’d likely have to use this Zap action: GDrive - API Request

GDrive API: https://developers.google.com/drive/api/guides/about-sdk

 

If you need help, consider hiring a Certified Zapier Expert: https://zapier.com/experts/automation-ace
