Try a Skill

Test Document and OCR skills against your documents to verify they meet your requirements before use.

You can test Document and OCR skills directly from the Skill Catalog to verify they meet your needs before putting them to use. Each skill opens in a separate browser tab, so you can test multiple skills simultaneously and compare results. To return to the Skill Catalog, close the Try Skill tab.

You can also use the ABBYY Vantage API to try skills of any type.

Availability of this feature depends on your role. For more information, see Role-Based Access Control.

To try a skill, do one of the following:

• Select the skill from the list (click anywhere except the skill name), and then click Try Skill in the toolbar or Actions pane.
• Open the skill’s preview window by clicking the Type icon next to the skill name, and then click Try Skill at the bottom of the window.

You can also create a derived skill and edit it to suit your needs.

Try a Document Skill

When you try a Document skill, processing results for the demo document are displayed automatically. To test with your own files, click Upload Documents in the Actions pane.

Uploaded documents are processed immediately and results are displayed automatically.

Try an OCR Skill

Upload documents in any language listed in the Actions pane. After processing, the Actions pane shows recognition statistics, including the total word count and the number of uncertain words. You can also download recognition results for all uploaded documents in any of the skill’s enabled formats.

Recognized and uncertain words are highlighted directly on the document image. Below the image, per-document statistics and a list of detected languages are shown.
