According to the above link, OneNote API in Microsoft Graph seems to provide OCR function. So I read Notes section in v1.0 API, but I can't find it actually. Am I missing any documents?

Hello Nasoki Koide,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Support!

The OCR functionality in the OneNote API via Microsoft Graph is indeed available, but it might not be explicitly detailed in the v1.0 API documentation. The OCR feature is part of the image processing capabilities, which automatically runs OCR on images you upload to OneNote.

For more detailed information, you can refer to the OneNote API overview. This page mentions that the OneNote APIs in Microsoft Graph run OCR on images, support full-text search, and process images. Also refer documentation.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the answer!

In OneNote API in Microsoft Graph, is there a way to get text read by OCR from image?

Hello @Nasoki Koide ,

There isn’t a separate Graph API specifically for retrieving OCR text from images in OneNote. The OCR functionality is integrated into the OneNote API within Microsoft Graph. When you add an image to a OneNote page, the OCR process is automatically triggered, and you can access the OCR text by querying the page content.

If you need to extract OCR text, you would follow these steps:

Add the image to a OneNote page: Use the OneNote API to create a new page and include the image.

Retrieve the page content: Once the image is processed, you can retrieve the page content, which will include the OCR text.

Hello Hitesh Pachipulusu,

I retrieved the page content via content endpoint of Get page API, but there was no OCR text... Because Create page API is a little complicated for me (I'm using C# but no code of C# is introduced), I added image through web browser, not via API.

Is it required to add image via API?
