A2iA Zone Locator

A2iA Zone Locator icon The A2iA Zone Locator can locate, extract, and recognize printed, hand written, and cursive data located in consistent positions across all documents in a class. Cursive data includes signatures and other joined up writing. This locator is configured and uses zones similar to the Advanced Zone Locator.

The different types of documents that can be processed with this locator method are bank checks, bank deposit slips, contracts, and any other documents that have hand written content that is not easily recognized by other recognition engines.

Important The A2iA Zone Locator described in this section is part of the Kofax Transformation Modules installation, but is not installed by default.
