Most powerful ways to connect OCR Space and Canva

OCR Space + Canva + Google Drive: When a new file is added to a specific folder in Google Drive, the text is extracted from the document using OCR Space. This text is then used to create a visual quote in Canva, and the resulting image is saved back to Google Drive.

Canva + OCR Space + Airtable: When a new design is created in Canva, it's exported as an image. The text within the image is extracted using OCR Space to generate alt text. The design name and extracted alt text are then saved as a new record in Airtable.
