Hey @kantheshm

Well in Abbey Flexicapture let you classify documents and detect their types and variants.
ABBYY FlexiCapture is able to identify the type of a document by finding and applying a matching Document Definition(A Document Definition describes the location of document elements and indicates fields to be used in data extraction. Document Definitions can only be created in Administrator mode. Document Definition can contained either a FlexiLayout or a fixed form template).

Classification can detect document types based on various image elements, such as image patterns, separators, barcodes, large titles, and full-text content. Once the program has detected the document type (or identified several possible types) using classification, it tries to apply only those FlexiLayouts that correspond to the detected types.

In short Classification in abbey to identify that input document belong to an Invoice Document type category, Letter or else.

Hi @aksh1yadav,

Thank you for your Replay. It helped me a lot.

And I am also struck with another issue can you help me…

Can we create one FCDot file for a set of Different Document with specified field??
And also I want that same FCDot file to identify another set of the document with different Pattern…

Is it possible to do that in FlexiCapture?
If so, can please suggest me??

Hey!!,

Yes, I have created one .fcdot file for some 20 different documents and its working flawlessly for me.

Create different layouts(.afl files) for different documents, into one document definition (.fcdot). and Use that document definition into the Intelligent OCR Activities.

I have used trail of Abbyy, since we are partner with UiPath i got a trial version of ABBYY.

It works fine for unstructured data, but as usual, you know how OCR works when image resolution varies.
Same difficulty is faced in Abbyy also.

But compared to other OCR ABBYY is the best.

Try it out once!!

Happy Learning!!

Hi @niteshbutola5,

Sorry for the delay!!

If you want to see the proper automated flow go with an enterprise edition.Anyways trail of 60days is available.

Right now i dont have any idea about trail version of ABBYY you have to check with UiPath team for that.

Hello,

Assuming emails are not images and are in unstructured format, if you already have an email body, then I am not sure how Abbyy makes sense in extracting the data out of that.

ABBYY is useful when you are extracting the information out of scanned PDF or image, like I used an licensed version for invoice processing(Scanned PDF). For your use case, I would recommend you trying NLP(Natural Language Processing). You can try LUIS and trails of these are also available for a limited period of time and with limited computation.

Hey Nitesh,

Check out the below link, this is all you need to do to train on LUIS for extracting the relevant information.

Also it can be easily integrated with UiPath using the API calls.

Happy Learning!!!..

Cheers…
