I am working on an application running on Zebra handheld Android scanners and it will be using the new Free Form OCR. I want to programmatically create a Datawedge profile with this enabled. The current documentation around workflows does not have Free Form OCR in there (https://techdocs.zebra.com/datawedge/11-2/guide/api/setconfig/#workflowinputparameters). What are the parameters to configure Free Form OCR from through the Set Config API?
Also what are the Switch Data Capture parameters that need to be passed? In particular the workflow_name? https://techdocs.zebra.com/datawedge/latest/guide/api/switchdatacapture/

Hi Andrew,
You can have a look here on how to enable FreeForm OCR:
https://techdocs.zebra.com/datawedge/latest/guide/api/setconfig/#setfre…
Also here is the guide where it's explained how to parse the response of the captured image:

Hope that helps!

Maybe I am confused but isn't Free-form image capture and Free-form OCR separate features? They are separate in the datawedge profile configuration. That documentation refers to Free-form image capture.
You're perfectly right, my apologies on that!
After a recheck, we're indeed missing the documentation on that part...
I've reached out internally and we'll be updating this page accordingly in the coming days.
I'll come back to this post after this is getting done.

Hi Andy,
Just confirming that we've updated our documentation and you should find everything you need to work with the Free Form OCR feature:

Let me know if you encounter any more issues.
Regards,
