Reading data from the page

The method that you use to read data from a page depends on the method that you used to generate the runtime fingerprints.

  • If you used full page recognition to generate the runtime fingerprints, you can obtain the field data directly from the fingerprint (CCO) file.
  • If you used AnalyzeImage to generate the runtime fingerprints, you must use recognition on each of the field zones to obtain the field data.

Populating the page data files using full page recognition results

The Datacap Studio Actions library include actions that take the character data from the fingerprint (CCO) file and apply it to the runtime batch hierarchy.
Library Action Description
Zones ReadZones Loads the zone position information for the current fingerprint.
Recog_Shared SnapCCOtoDCO Transfers the recognition results from the current page's fingerprint (CCO) file to the appropriate field objects in the runtime batch hierarchy.
You must run ReadZones before you can run SnapCCOtoDCO.

Populating the page data files using zone OCR

If you used AnalyzeImage to generate the runtime fingerprints, the following actions are available for zone-based recognition:
Library Action Description
Zones ReadZones Loads the zone position information for the current fingerprint.
ocr_a RecognizePageFieldsOCR_A Recognizes the characters within each of the field zones using the position information in the current fingerprint.
OCR_s RecognizePageFieldsOCR_S Recognizes the characters within each of the field zones using the position information in the current fingerprint.
ocr_sr RecognizePageFieldsOCR_S Recognizes the characters within each of the field zones using the position information in the current fingerprint.
icr_c RecognizePageFieldsICR_C Recognizes the characters within each of the field zones using the position information in the current fingerprint.
