# OCR With AWS

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

The OCR with AWS action step enables you to recognize the text in a document by sending a local file
to the AWS Textract service, which returns the extracted values.

This action step processes the document in a synchronous fashion (Amazon does not store the
document) and automatically converts PDF files to PNG images. You can adjust the fidelity of the
conversion in the properties grid.

- **File Name**
