Question

What is the use of Image and text automation in UiPath studio?

Answer 1

Hey @Rakhi, Automating Virtual environments can be quite complicated, as automatic recording is not possible. So to automate virtual environments, UiPath Studio provides activities to enable Image and text-based process automation that simulate keyboard and mouse input, such as clicking, hovering or typing, text recognition, OCR activities that use screen scraping to identify UI elements and image recognition activities that work directly with images to identify UI elements.

Specialized recording wizards for Screen Scraping and Citrix recording can also automatically generate the activities required for each process. Image and Text automation is useful in situations when UI automation does not work, such as in virtual machine environments, where selectors cannot be found by using normal methods.
