ABBYY Flexicapture Layout/Setup stations recognizing different things


When I build an ABBYY flexicapture layout in layout studio it captures everything perfectly. After saving and exporting the layout into Setup station some of the information is missing, particularly info in a repeating group.

For example, In a repeating group in Layout studio I can find all two 'Taxes' listed on the page. All are recognized at good quality with no errors. however, in setup station, only 1 of the 2 taxes will be captured.

FL studio Location_Taxes repeating block FL studio Location_Taxes repeating block

FL Studio Captured Taxes (2/2) FL Studio Captured Taxes (2/2)

Close up of Tax Repeating Group CLose up of Tax Repeating Group

FC Studio Captured tax (1/2) FC Studio Captured tax (1/2)

Is there something I am missing that would cause the recognition to work in layout studio but not in Setup/Capture?

Thanks


Solution

  • We may have stumbled upon the problem (even though it should not be the problem). I was using a Regex to find the correct format for the Tax amount as shown in the image below.

    Regex for TaxAmount

    This was working in layout studio. However, in FlexiCapture the tax was not found. Upon removing the regex restriction and letting it just find anything Flexicapture would then work. You would think that this means that the capture studio was finding something that does not match the regex. But no, It found '.22' just like it should have.

    Still wondering why it does this. I would like to continue to use regex's as it helps not recognize the wrong thing. Any thoughts?
