The OCR mapping dialog

All document templates that are defined in ABBYY/RecoStar and their fields are listed in the Configuration column. The XBOUND object name column lists which XBOUND document types and fields that the ABBYY/RecoStar objects are mapped to.

Click a line to change the XBOUND mapping. The Choose XBOUND object dialog is displayed, where you can select the XBOUND objects to be mapped, add a new XBOUND object, or delete the XBOUND mapping. Objects to be created in XBOUND are displayed in blue italics; these are created after this dialog is closed.

Additional information about mapping for the RecoStar Professional Extraction activity:

• None: ABBYY/RecoStar is not used to classify the document/medium. For extraction, ABBYY uses the document template that is assigned to the current document type.
  (Sequence if you select this option when using ABBYY FlexiCapture Extraction.)

  1. XBOUND transfers all document media as one batch to ABBYY.

  2. If Check if number of images is same as in document definition is selected in the main activity settings, the activity calculates how many images are expected in the ABBYY document definition, which is mapped to the current XBOUND document type (this is equal to the number of pages of all document sections).

     • If the number of images of the current document is the same as the expected number, processing can start.

     • If the number is not the same, an error is thrown ("Number of pages [99] of document template is not the same as number of images at document [99]").

  3. Processing the batch (current document) in ABBYY.

  4. Classification results are applied as the document type unless Save classification result in field is selected. The XBOUND document type that is mapped to the classified ABBYY document definition is applied to the current document.

  5. The results of all document sections, field areas, fields, and tables are evaluated. If a field/table is mapped to an XBOUND field/table, the results are applied to this mapped field or table.

  6. All field/table cell values are applied as follows. For each field/cell, the image and position on image is applied. For text fields, recognized characters and their confidence levels are applied, too.

     Field type	Applied value
     FT_Checkmark	AsBoolean
     FT_CheckmarkGroup	AsString
     FT_CurrencyField	AsString
     FT_DateTimeField	AsDateTime als LongDateString
     FT_Document	Not implemented (not applied to an XBOUND field)
     FT_Group	Not implemented (not applied to an XBOUND field)
     FT_NumberField	AsDouble
     FT_PageGroup	Not implemented (not applied to an XBOUND field)
     FT_PictureField	Not implemented (not applied to an XBOUND field)
     FT_TextField	AsString

     OMR field values are mapped to 0 or 1.

• Classify document: ABBYY/RecoStar is used for classifying and extracting the document. For RecoStar processing of multi-page documents, see the description of the Process document as multi-page form setting in RecoStar Professional Extraction activity.
  (Sequence if you select this option when using ABBYY FlexiCapture Extraction.)

  1. XBOUND transfers all document media as one batch to ABBYY.

  2. Processing batch in ABBYY including classification.

  3. Classification results are applied as the document type unless Save classification result in field is selected. The XBOUND document type that is mapped to the classified ABBYY document definition is applied to the current document.

  4. In case of successful classification, all fields and tables are applied as described above under None.

• Classify media: Only a document's media are classified. In this case, extraction is not possible.
  (Sequence if you select this option when using ABBYY FlexiCapture Extraction.)

  1. Each single medium is transferred to ABBYY for single processing.

  2. Processing of current medium in ABBYY including classification.

  3. The XBOUND document type that is mapped to the classified ABBYY document definition is applied to the current medium.

  No read results are applied.

• Save classification result in field: The result of the ABBYY/RecoStar classification is saved in a field, but the document type is not changed. Then select a target field in the drop-down list. (The list is created automatically for each document type.)

How non-displayable characters are handled in the extraction results. You can replace them with a question mark, or you can delete them from the results.

This is not used in RecoStar.

If the Hide information without XBOUND context option is selected, all entries that are not assigned to XBOUND objects are hidden.
