OCR with Form Recognizer
Hello,
we're using BluePrism RPA with ABBYY for the OCR engine.
This year, I'm planning to compare ABBYY to Form Recognizer.
Couple of questions:
1. Which tools are are available to the business users to monitor and correct recognition issues?
2. Assuming that all MSFT tools are in cloud, what is the upgrade strategy and what kind of effort is expected from customers when Form Recognizer or other OCR related tech is upgrade?
thank you,

Konstantin Kazantsev just wanted to follow up. We reached out to the Form Recognizer team and here are the answers to your question:
- Form Recognizer is available for the business user as a No Code Form Processing, Invoice Processing, Receipt Processing apps as part of Power Automate. See more details here - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/ai-builder/overview
- Form Recognizer has an API and SDK release, when upgrading we bump the API release and update the SDK so it is up to the customer to decide when to take the new release. Usually efforts are minimum just change the API path from 2.0 to 2.1, to consume new features customers might need to integrate the new features into their service but for an upgrade to use the latest release and accuracy improvements just and API path update is needed to consume the latest release.
Hope this helps!!
Konstantin Kazantsev , I am also evaluating between Abbyy and Form Recognizer and wanted to know if you switched to Form Recognizer or stayed with Abbyy? Also did your use case involve handwriting recognition and if it did, did you compare the response times of recognition between the two options?
