Dear Readers,
Welcome again! 🙂
In previous post, we learned about how to authenticate with Google Cloud API. If you have not read, you can read the full blog Here.
In this post, we are going to learn how to use Google Cloud API to Extract the Text ( both Handwriting & Computer Writing ) and how to Detect Multiple Objects in Same picture.
Google Cloud Image Extraction API – Here is the link for the official link of Google Cloud API.
Request Format – Google API Accepts the JSON body as input.
Below is the typical request that api accept to read the computer text.
{
"requests": [
{
"image": {
"content": "base64-encoded-image"
,
"source": {
"imageUri" : "cloud-storage-image-uri"
,
"gcsImageUri" : "public hosted image url"
}
},
"features": [
{
"type" : "TEXT_DETECTION"
,
"model" : "builtin/stable",
"maxResults": 10
}
]
}
]
}Below is the typical body to detect handwriting text. If you wanted to read the text which is written by hand then use type as “DOCUMENT_TEXT_DETECTION” the only change is the type of task which should be “DOCUMENT_TEXT_DETECTION”
Create an Apex Class Name it “GoogleCloudVisionAPI”
