The only Extractor that there is is Abby FlexiCapture Extractor, why is this even in the academy lesson, because most of us don’t have FlexiCapture licence?

So my question is, in UiPath Academy, we have course with the name Update 2019.4 studio. Where we are introduced with Intelligent OCR Activity Package.

Keeping that in mind that the only Extractor that there is is Abby FlexiCapture Extractor, why is this even in the lesson, because most of us don’t have FlexiCapture licence?

The only alternative that I see are in these Machine Learning Activities, but they are still in Alpha ?

Hello @srdjan.suc,

Our focus so far has been on:

  • building up the infrastructure - which you see demoed in the Updates course,
  • offering our customers who are using Abbyy FlexiCapture the out-of-the-box functionality they require (hence the Abbyy FlexiCapture activities available in the package), and, very importantly,
  • the possibility for anyone to build their own document classification and data extraction functionality through custom activities.

Now that we have every piece of the puzzle in place, that the platform is open for anyone to tap into and use, we are focusing on on-boarding more and more document classification and data extraction methods.

As you know, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. The Machine Learning Extractor is the first capability launched, more are on the way :slight_smile:
