You can apply Document and OCR skills from the Skill Catalog to your documents to ensure they meet your specific requirements. To verify suitability, you can test these skills using one of the following methods:
  • Select the skill from the list by left-clicking on it anywhere except the name. Next, click the Try Skill button either in the toolbar or in the Actions pane.
  • Open the preview window for that skill by clicking the preview button to the left of the skill name. Next, click the Try Skill button located at the bottom of the window.
The skill opens in a new browser tab. To return to the Skill Catalog, close the Try Skill tab. You can use your documents to test several skills at the same time and compare the results. Each skill opens in a separate browser tab. You can also duplicate the current skill and edit the skill copy according to your needs.

​
Trying a Document skill

When you try a Document skill, the system automatically displays the processing results for the demo document in this tab. To use your own files, click Upload Documents in the Actions pane. Once loaded, your documents will be automatically processed by the selected skill and their results displayed.

​
Trying an OCR skill

You can upload documents in the languages listed in the Actions pane. After processing, the Actions pane will show statistics like the total number of words recognized across all documents, as well as the number of uncertain words. From here, you can also download the recognition results for all uploaded documents in any of the skill’s enabled formats. Recognized and uncertain words are highlighted on the image of the document in the main part of the page. Below the image, you can see statistics for the chosen document and a list of languages found in the document. You can also use the ABBYY Vantage API to try out skills of any type.
