Screenshots are excellent for capturing information quickly.
They're not always excellent for using that information later.
Imagine receiving a screenshot containing a configuration table, a report, or a list of records. If you need that information in your application, manually recreating it becomes tedious.
An OCR workflow can help:
Start with a readable image.
Extract the relevant information.
Convert it into a suitable format.
Validate the extracted values.
Use the result in your application.
Depending on the task, formats such as JSON, CSV, XML, or YAML may be useful.
LoveOCR provides conversion workflows for several of these formats.
