Document Understanding Activities

IntelligentOCR

(v4.2.0-preview)

:partying_face: A new extractor joined the family of capabilities for document understanding :mechanical_arm:. Its name is Position Based Extractor and it even has its own wizard to make configuration super simple! You can easily find it in the UiPath.IntelligentOCR.Activities package and you can make use of it whenever you’re in need of extracting information from fixed layout documents (imagine IRS, accident report, or any other standard template forms). Be careful though, this activity can be used only within the Data Extraction Scope activity.

:star_struck: The Regex Based Extractor now supports extraction of tables, by allowing you to define a regular expression for identifying the table area, a regular expression for identifying a table row in that area, and regular expressions for identifying specific columns in the table rows.

:mage: The Data Extraction Scope can now automatically read Extractor capabilities (internal taxonomies) if the Extractor declares them. This simplifies the configuration step by exposing the extractor’s known fields. The Machine Learning Extractor now supports this new functionality, making it very easy to use and configure in the Configure Extractors wizard.

:performing_arts: The Validation Station now has a new feature, :mag_right:Show Suggestions. This allows you to review multiple candidates for a value, if the used extractors report multiple possible values for a specific field.

PDF

Let’s not forget the new addition to the UiPath.PDF.Activities package, the much requested
