Text recognition / OCR fails in pipeline

In a keyword test, I need to click an object that isn't natively recognized by Test Complete.  I have used text recognition and ocr and both methods work locally, but when I push the test to an Azure pipeline and run it from the pipeline the text isn't recognized.  Has anybody run into this.  I can't figure out why the test works locally but fails in my pipeline.

    If your tested UI element contains several instances of the sought-for text, by default, TestComplete will get the first instance it will find by searching from left to right and from top to bottom.

    Is it running on the same machine locally and from the pipeline?

      Hi Marsha_R.  The pipeline is running on a different machine.  I believe it is running with TestExecute instead of TestComplete.  I don't have direct access to the machine, but that's my understanding.
