Questions about this workflow
Will OCR run on every file in a submission?
Ask Notis to process image inputs only. The source must provide an image source that Astica ai can read.
Does this grade or evaluate the submission?
No. ASTICA_READ_TEXT extracts text from an image; it does not assess correctness or assign a grade.
