REST API - "Extracted Text" property OneDrive


How could I retrieve the extracted text property of images in OneDrive? OneDrive runs an OCR on images and shows the extracted text. A user can also correct the mistakes in the text and update it (next time, it won't run OCR and will directly just show that)

I'm making a WP8.1 App and need API calls REST or LiveSDK to get this property.

If you browse for an image which has text on OneDrive and wait a few seconds, a extracted text property will appear on the left https://i.sstatic.net/zK9yn.png

I checked calls using Fiddler and there is an independent call for this extracted text property - https://i.sstatic.net/2pbfm.png -- but how do I use this?


Solution

  • Unfortunately the OCR-extracted text isn't currently available through the REST API's.
