Automate Image Text Extraction and Organization with n8n
detail.loadingPreview
Streamline your workflow by automatically extracting text from images and saving it to Google Sheets. This n8n workflow leverages AWS Rekognition to read text from an image URL and organize the extracted information for easy access.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow provides a powerful solution for automatically processing images and extracting valuable text data. It begins by fetching an image from a specified URL, then utilizes AWS Rekognition to perform Optical Character Recognition (OCR), identifying and extracting all visible text. The extracted text, along with image metadata like filename and URL, is then cleverly organized and transformed. Finally, this structured data is seamlessly appended to a designated Google Sheet, creating an auditable and easily searchable repository of your image content. This empowers businesses to unlock insights hidden within visual assets, automate data entry, and improve operational efficiency.
Key Features
- Automated Image Text Extraction: Leverages AWS Rekognition for robust OCR capabilities.
- URL-Based Image Processing: Works directly with images hosted online.
- Data Structuring & Transformation: Organizes extracted text and metadata for clarity.
- Seamless Google Sheets Integration: Automatically appends extracted data for easy management.
- Customizable Data Mapping: Allows flexible configuration of what data is saved.
How To Use
- HTTP Request Node: Configure the first HTTP Request node with the URL of the image you want to process.
- AWS Rekognition Node: Set up the AWS Rekognition node to perform
detectTexton the binary data received from the HTTP Request. - Set Node: Map the extracted text (
TextDetections), image filename, and image URL into new fields (e.g.,img_txt,img_name,img_link). You may need to adjust the JSON paths based on the output of AWS Rekognition. - Function Node: (Optional) Use a Function node to further process the extracted text, such as converting it to lowercase or removing unwanted characters.
- Google Sheets Node: Configure the Google Sheets node to append the processed data to your desired spreadsheet, ensuring the correct sheet ID and authentication are set up.
