Tech Tip: Zone OCR and Multi-Value Tokens

The OmniPage Zone OCR process in Quick Fields 8 extracts specific regions of an image’s text using OCR. This tech tip will explain how to OCR multiple lines of text and insert each separately into a multi-value field.

Real-World Scenario

How Can I Do This?
By default, if an OmniPage Zone OCR region encompasses multiple lines of text, it only OCRs the first line. You must configure the process to capture all lines as a multi-value token, then insert the token into a multi-value field.

  1. After adding an OmniPage Zone OCR process to your session and configuring its zones, select one of the zones and click Advanced options.
