The Affinda solution applies a range of post-processing steps to the raw text extracted from a document to ensure it is usable for downstream processing. Examples of this include:

• Formatting dates into the standard ISO format
• Removing any symbols or characters from currency values
• Matching the raw text in the document to a defined list of allowed values

To provide greater control and visibility to customers, we have introduced a new setting that allows users to view the 'raw' text extracted from the document alongside the 'parsed' value that has been formatted and post-processed. This means that users can see both values side by side and ensure that the post-processing is accurate.

How to enable this setting?

The setting can be enabled in the Validation Tool by clicking the '...' and selecting 'Show Raw Values'. It can also be disabled in the same way by clicking 'Hide Raw Values'. This setting will persist across user settings.
