If the classification module is not able to classify a document , then the document needs to manually classified by an operator. Classification is an unattended module.

Classification Edit: Classification Edit module provides an interface for the operators to manually classify a document if it is not auto-classified. This modules displays the scanned images and also the list of templates within the Dispatcher project, so that the operator can view the match and assign it to a matching template.

Recognition: Recognition module is used to extract (OCR) the data from the images. Field data are extracted from the images either based on index zones or free-form extraction. Recognition module is an unattended module.

Validation: Validation module is an attended module used to validate the data extracted from the images using the recognition module.
