The link you provided earlier is no longer valid. Could you please direct me to the correct link to learn more about Pega OCR in Pega Cloud?

Thanks,

Hi @VinayKumarL16594575

Sorry about that! I have updated the URL to our search results on Pega Docs for Cloud Services.

Can’t find the OCR component on marketpalce anymore, is it removed?

Hi @AnandP17019846,

I believe Pega may have retired the OCR component from the Marketplace, likely in favour of their newer GenAI-powered approach. The old component was built on ABBYY FineReader Engine and was only supported on on-premises deployments it was never available for Pega Cloud customers.( This is my understanding)

The replacement is Document processing with Pega GenAI (DocAI), available from Pega Platform 25.1 onwards. It covers similar use cases (PDFs, images, DOCX, printed or handwritten) and maps extracted data directly to case properties with no model training needed. More details here: Document processing with Pega GenAI

If you are on an older version or on client-managed cloud on AWS, AWS Textract service is a good alternative worth considering.

Hope that helps!

Thanks,
Vinay

Thanks @VinayKumarL16594575 . just wondering what are options for customers who are not yet using Pega’s GenAI or not on Pega Cloud

If you are on AWS, AWS Textract is a great option and I have personally implemented this . Google Cloud Vision and Azure Form Recognizer are also worth considering depending on your cloud provider.

For on-premise, I haven’t come across this use case so would be keen to hear if anyone else has!

Thanks,

Vinay
