Validate text fields

Text fields (simple fields and table cells) can contain words, numbers, or a combination of both. When the content in a text field does not match a validation rule, the extraction result has not the needed confidence or if a formatter fails, you need to validate that field.

For example, a text field may contain a date such as 1 Jamuary 2004 which is invalid because of an OCR misread. This field is marked red to notify you that it needs validation.

You can use your mouse to validate a field by selecting text on the image. Alternatively, you can use your keyboard or a combination of both.

  1. Select the correct entry from the document by either clicking the OCR result on the document or drawing a rectangle around the text.
  2. Press Enter to validate the field.

    If the field is valid, its content turns green on the image, and the next invalid field or table cell automatically loads.
