    Hi all,

    I have a requirement where the client wants to run OCR on documents and get back the captured data using wTM webservices. Basically they want a webservice end point where they can send the document and get the OCR results back as a response.

    Can anyone provide some guidance on how to develop such a solution

    Hi Savita / Zoltán,

    I missed the original question in the Community. We have a solution in Production which uses the wTM API to OCR documents and surface the data.

    This page provides details of the API:
    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/datacap/9.1.9?topic=reference-datacap-web-services-rest-api-methods

    It's possible to work with batches of documents in the 'traditional' sense, but it's also possible to submit individual transactions and get the results back. Which method you use will depend very much on your use-case.

    If using transactions, you need to:

    1. Log in to the application (use SessionLogon)
    2. Start a transaction (use TransactionStart)
    3. Upload your image and XML (use TransactionSetFile)
    4. Carry out the processing (use TransactionExecute)
    5. Get the results (use TransactionGetFile)
    6. End the transaction (use TransactionEnd)
    7. Log out of the application

    Hope this helps!

    Shaun
