Description
This workflow allows users to send an image to a Telegram bot and receive the extracted text using OCR. It's a simple and fast way to turn images into readable text through chat.

How it works

  1. Listens for new image messages via Telegram.
  2. Downloads and converts the image to a base64 string.
  3. Sends the image to an OCR API.
  4. Returns the recognized text back to the Telegram user.

Set up steps

  1. Connect your Telegram bot using the Telegram Trigger node.
  2. Provide an OCR API key (via credentials or environment variables).
  3. Add your bot token to the Send Message node.
  4. Deploy the workflow and send an image to test.

📌 Detailed configuration instructions are included inside the sticky notes in the workflow.
