How to read Texts from images in thingworx? is there any direct functionality to read texts?

is there any extension available for this? 

i have this link but for this need to install thingworx flow 

https://support.ptc.com/help/thingworx/platform/r9/en/index.html#page/ThingWorx/Help/Integration_Orchestration/Azure/ComputerVision.html

without thingworx flow how to get this done?

I agree with Pai. You can use ContentLoader services and push the image to Azure Cognitive Services with a REST POST request:

 

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/computervision/image-analysis/analyze-image?view=rest-computervision-v4.0-preview+%282023-04-01%29&tabs=HTTP&tryIt=true&source=docs#code-try-0

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)

    Sorry you should use a third party program like Azure Computer Vision.

    You can integrate using REST API instead of using TWX Flow
