Step 2 - Verification

The
Verification
wizard displays all uploaded pages. During this step, you can verify the accuracy of each text field and the amount that was captured by optical character recognition (OCR). You can correct mistakes and manually capture any fields that might have been missed. You can also review the document associations and manually associate non-standard documents.
Fields highlighted in Green, Yellow, and Aqua Blue are verified by OCR.
  • Pink
    : Indicates a field auto-verified using the PDF's text layer.
  • Blue
    : Indicates Proforma data.
  • Green
    : Indicates a field OCR is certain about that field and requires verification.
  • Yellow
    : Indicates a field OCR is uncertain about that field and requires verification.
Fields highlighted in pink are auto-verified using the PDF's text layer. Auto-verified pages are hidden from verification by default; to view auto-verified pages, select
Show Page(s)
menu on the toolbar, then select
Auto Verified
or
All
.
