Is anybody using OCR (optical character reader) in a workflow?

We have scanned PDFs coming in as a data source. Is anybody using OCR in a workflow? If so, which one and how has it worked for you?

@Philip, Check out this post: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Advanced-Analytics/Image-Face-Recognition-Using-Microsoft-Cognitive-Services-API/m-p/54486

One of the other API's included in the Microsoft Cognitive Services is an OCR API. It follows the same type of API call as the Face API described in the post.

I've found it to be fairly accurate.

Thanks, Patrick! This looks like a great possibility.
