Inspiration

Most Organization, Teams, Companies etc. works with Documents, Files and Images which might contains vital data that can be extracted and processed. Entering those Data from documents by hands or manually can be very tedious, tiring, time consuming and even create monotony in the work task.

A good example is an Organizations or Teams that works mostly on Physically printed documents and files like Customers Forms, Insurance Forms, Receipts, Notes etc.

To make work easier and faster for them, I created Slack OCR Files Manager that uses Azure Optical Character Recognition(OCR) AI to extracts texts data from Images, Files and documents. It provides room for further extracted text editing and then stores the updated extracted text data on database.

The Application then leverages Slack Channel Listing API and Slack Chat Message Posting API to Post and Share the extracted Text documents to theirs various teams on Slacks Channels across the globe in real-time.
