OCR workflow on macOS 12 no result with unavailable model #11

Thanks for the workflow. After installing it, it doesn't do anything except for giving me notice saying "Copied Recognized Text". What am I doing wrong. Everything seems to be installed properly. I'am using mac os 12, having it as well set up in the configuration of the workflow. Is there anything I'am missing?

Hey @Schullinger, you're referring to either the OCR light or OCR+ workflow. If it's the former, your configuration will look a little different. However, since you are running macOS 12, make sure you select the appropriate model version in the configuration. Version 2 should work in your case, but alas, depending on your target language, you might get disappointing results. In my experience, Apple's Vision framework does not produce satisfactory results until v3.
