Label Sets "Label Sets" refers to a variety of document classification and extraction capabilities made possible through the Labeling Behavior. The Labeling Behavior is a Content Type Behavior designed to collect and utilize a document's field labels in a variety of ways. This includes functionality for classification and data extraction. The Labeling Behavior functionality allows Grooper users to quickly onboard new Document Types for structured and semi-structured forms, utilizing labels as a thumbprint for classification and data extraction purposes. Once the Labeling Behavior is enabled, labels are identified and collected using the "Labels" tab of Document Types. These "Label Sets" can then be used for the following purposes: Document classification - Using the Labelset-Based Classification Method Field based data extraction - Primarily using the Labeled Value Extractor Type Tabular data extraction - Primarily using a Data Table object's Tabular Layout Extract Method Sectional data extraction - Primarily using a Data Section object's Transaction Detection Extract Method

The earliest examples of OCR (Optical Character Recognition) can be traced back to the 1870s. Early OCR devices were actually invented to aid the blind. This included "text-to-speech" devices that would scan black print and produce sounds a blind person could interpret, as well as "text-to-tactile" machines which would convert luminous sensations into tactile sensations. Machines such as these would allow a blind person to read printed text not yet converted to Braille. The first business to install an OCR reader was the magazine Reader's Digest in 1954. The company used it to convert typewritten sales reports into machine readable punch cards. It would not be until 1974 that OCR starts to form as we imagine it now with Ray Kurzweil's development of the first "omni-font" OCR software, capable of reading text of virtually any font.

Label Sets A new way of document classification and extraction using labels. Smart PDFs New PDF generation functionality (via the PDF Data Mapping Behavior), including embedding extracted data directly to PDF files. Data Engine The Data Rule is a new object designed for hierarchical conditional validation and calculation of Data Elements in a Data Model. This "Data Engine" drives complex data validation and calculations never before possible in Grooper. Document Ingestion API Integration of a new RESTful document ingestion API provides the ability to create and populate batches, and the ability to monitor the status of batch processes, and retrieve results. Value Reader A new data extraction object, designed to centralize all of Grooper's extraction functionality into a single object, including its pattern-based, OMR, and zonal types of extraction.
