Verification is the process of checking:
  • Recognition accuracy.
  • The assembly of pages into documents (for multi-page documents).
  • The matching of field values to the specified format (such as a date or time).
  • Compliance with rules (dependencies between the values of different fields).
You verify data on the Web Capture Station or the Web Verification Station, after the batch is recognized on the ABBYY FlexiCapture server.

​
What verification checks

When you create a Document Definition, you specify an assembly rule that defines the page order and how many times each page can recur. You can also enable a check based on key field values. In that case, the key field values must be identical on all pages of the document. Pages are assembled into documents automatically during recognition. If any errors occur during automatic assembly, correct them at verification. If ABBYY FlexiCapture is not certain that some characters were recognized correctly, it marks them as uncertainly recognized. During verification, check these characters and correct them if necessary. Also check fields with rule errors (for example, the sum of recognized values does not match the value of the resultant field) and format errors (for example, the recognized value is not a date).

​
Start verification

After the batch is recognized on the server, it is placed in the queue of batches awaiting verification.

​
On the Web Capture Station

The batch becomes available on the pane that displays batches on the main page of the station. To start verification, click the batch name in the list or click the Verify batch button. Verification usually starts with correcting document assembly errors on the thumbnails panel. Then you correct recognition and document filling errors in the document editor and on the data form.

​
On the Web Verification Station

To start verification, get the task from the queue on the main page of the station. In the batch view, the page thumbnails of all documents in the batch appear. In this pane, you can check document assembly errors. First correct all document assembly errors in the batch view, and then open the data form for each document. When you finish, click the Task done button button on the task toolbar. If you cannot process a task or are unsure how to proceed, send it to Exceptions by clicking the Send to Exceptions button button on the task toolbar.
You can customize the workspace by repositioning the pane separators. The station remembers your workspace layout and shows it the next time you log in. To hide a pane, click the cross icon in its top-right corner. At least one pane always remains open. To display a hidden pane, click its icon in the right-hand pane.
To speed up the process, a Verification Operator can use hot keys. To view a list of verification hot keys, click Hot Keys button Hot Keys in the Help Help button menu in the upper-right corner.
