2024.10.0
Release date: 11 November 2024
Document Understanding™ 2024.10 LTS Release
We are excited to announce that our latest OCR engine, UiPath Extended Languages OCR, is now in general availability. The new OCR is capable of digitizing documents in over 200 languages, bringing a significant improvement over its predecessor, especially in regards to Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Additionally, it can process documents in Thai, Vietnamese, all major languages from India, and languages using the Cyrilic alphabet, and Greek.
We've made significant improvements to our document digitization process. Now, when using the UiPath Extended Languages OCR, the output will be regular word boxes instead of individual characters.
- This release brings accuracy and performance improvements for handwriting recognition.
- The recognition and detection for Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MIRC) is improved, bringing enhanced accuracy especially for checks.
- Previously, numbers were not recognized in some instances when a space was used as separator. Numbers are now recognized when space is used as separator.
- The confidence score for the UiPath Document Understanding OCR is improved, particularly when used on lower quality images. In workflows where confidence score is used to decide if documents need human validation in Action Center, this may result in an increased number of documents undergoing validation.
We've fixed an issue where annotation boxes were returned horizontally, even though some documents were slightly skewed, causing misalignment in the annotation.
