How to connect OCR Space and Google Cloud Translate
Create a New Scenario to Connect OCR Space and Google Cloud Translate
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a OCR Space, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, OCR Space or Google Cloud Translate will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find OCR Space or Google Cloud Translate, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.
