Special conditions of use

The robot will return an error if:

• the "Image" field is in the wrong format.
• the required language pack is not installed.
• MS version that does not support OCR.

Windows OS must be in Russian language for correct operation. If the OS is in any other language, the language package must be installed https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/language-packs-for-windows-a5094319-a92d-18de-5b53-1cfc697cfca8#WindowsVersion=Windows_10
