I agree with Pai. You can use ContentLoader services and push the image to Azure Cognitive Services with a REST POST request:
Handling the authentication is probably the most complex part of it.
The alternative "old-fashioned" approach would be to get an offline OCR software, commercial or open-source, and write a TWX extension that passes over the data.
Azure Computer Vision or other such programs can help read the text.
You probably can just integrate to it using REST API vs. using TWX Flow
From what I understand TWX Flow might be discontinued (still not 100% decided I think)
yes i understand thingworx flow can be useful but apart from that is there is any other options to get it done?
Sorry you should use a third party program like Azure Computer Vision.
You can integrate using REST API instead of using TWX Flow
