Whip Computer + OCR Web Service
OCR Web Service provides SOAP and REST APIs for integrating Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology into software products, mobile devices, or other web services.
How a Bot uses OCR Web Service
4 OCR Web Service tools. Connect under Plugins. The Bot still asks before anything leaves the thread.
- Open the OCR Web Service files you name. Summarize, extract dates, list open questions.
- Propose edits in the thread. Do not overwrite the source until you say so.
- If the file is missing, it stops instead of guessing.
Never without you
- Overwrite the source file
- Share a doc outside the workspace

FAQ
Does Whip Computer have a native OCR Web Service integration?
Yes. Connect OCR Web Service under Plugins. The Bot still asks before anything leaves the thread — sending docs and sheets included.
Can a Bot change live OCR Web Service data?
Not by default. Whip Computer is talk-first: draft in the thread, grant access when it hits a wall. Live OCR Web Service writes wait for you.
Do I need a workflow builder?
No. Create a Bot, message it, grant access as needed. There isn't anything to learn — it's like bringing on a coworker.
