Activate and renew OCR license

IA Cloud Developer installation requires a separate OCR license that is different from the server installation of IA Cloud Enterprise. IA Cloud Developer comes with two basic licenses for default Abbyy FRE 11 and FRE 12 limited by time and the number of pages used. The out-of-the-box OCR license expires three months after the IA Cloud Developer release or reaching the default 1,000 pages.

Data Analyst workflow

A Data Analyst (DA) acts based on several factors originating from the customer's data analysis. The article shares a typical workflow for new DAs.

Disable OCR workers

The OCR component is installed by default. If you do not plan to use OCR, you can disable it. This will increase the throughput for CT, RPA, and AutoML workers.

Extract machine-readable zone

The machine-readable zone (MRZ) is typically found on official travel or identity documents of many countries. It can have two or three lines of machine-readable data. A new profile allows processing MRZ written in accordance with ICAO Document 9303.

Input document characteristics

Typically, a Data Analyst deals with an unspecified variety of documents during the start of Use Case analysis and implementation. To perform a proper analysis of the documents, a Data Analyst has to deeply understand and drive work using following characteristics:

Labeling requirements

In order to ensure a data set is of high quality, result of labeling (tagging) must be:

OCR

High-level description

OCR

In ODF 2, there are two levels of API you can use to interact with the OCR service. The high-level API is a couple of Bot Tasks to submit documents and receive OCR results. It is the primary solution in most cases. When it is not enough, the low-level API is a service used to make calls directly to OCR.

OCR analysis and tuning

The goal of this stage is to achieve acceptable OCR configuration and get understanding of final OCR quality.

OCR plugins

The ocr plugin works in the synchronous mode, and therefore, becomes a performance bottleneck if used within a BP where the OCR page volume is high, or documents contain more than 20 pages. The recommendation is to use the prepared BP artifacts where the OCR logic is asynchronous.

Optimize OCR process

A standard Workfusion OCR use case provides a set of Bot Configurations that may be re-used or extended to address custom OCR challenges.

Plan infrastructure capacity

A common concern of an enterprise is whether it has enough allocated resources to handle an increase in users or the number of transactions.

Recognize Windows checkmarks

The checkmark recognition feature is available for IA Cloud Enterprise up to v10.1.6 and IA Cloud Developer (all versions).

Study documents

Before labeling, the most essential information the subject-matter experts (SME) should share with the data analyst (DA) includes the following:
