Event details
First of all, congratulations to the team that has been working on Microsoft Syntex and to the community for their good contributions, ERA and ES, a great need in companies, to have the possibility of processing almost the entire universe of their source documentation in paper or digital and incorporate it into your business processes, allow me a few more queries at the end user or advanced user level in some area of a company
- Is it on your roamap, add functionalities, such as barcode recognition, QR and OMR codes?
- The ability to process current models or custom ones in multiple languages?
- Are there approximate dates when the new releases will go into production?
- Is there a way that when opening a document, the indexes are shown VERTICALLY in the interface or pop-up window, for example on the right side of the document?
- Is an untrained document testing GUI contemplated for end users or CITIZEN DEVELOPERS?
- The search for keywords of one or more document types within one or more libraries? and that the result gives me a list of documents where that keyword(s) is found?
- There are documents that have a personalized background either with logos or referential text to the company or the process that is carried out, it is or will be possible to eliminate these characteristics and thus be able to make the OCR efficiency level more efficient ?
- When templated at the level of ENTITIES within a document type, will it be possible to indicate to the engine the position of the result that it has to capture? Example: Right side, Left side, Top or Bottom of the defined entity.

MicrosoftThanks Jaime! We appreciate the congrats, we're so excited for everyone to try all the capabilities of Microsoft Syntex!
To your questions:
Barcodes, yes, that's on the roadmap - it will depend on which type of model you're using (prebuilt models, freeform, structured), but we definitely know this is something we need to do. I can't give you specific timing. I can tell you it's unlikely to come for unstructured document processing (formerly known as document understanding) because of some tech limitations there, but for the others, our intention is yes!
Multiple languages - yes, and in fact, some models support multiple languages (like unstructured document processing, it supports basically any Latin-based languages).
Dates - can't comment on those generally beyond what we shared in the Ignite announcement, stay tuned to the Syntex blog (and of course the roadmap and message center) for more details.
Showing indices vertically - you can expand the details pane in SharePoint and see them, but otherwise, I don't think so - good feedback we can think more about though, of course!
We 100% are building Syntex for end users - they may skew a bit toward power users/citizen developers, but we don't want you to have to write code to use Syntex!
Search across libraries - yes, something we hope to add to our content query feature in the future. We're also working with the Microsoft Search team on improvements we can do in/around metadata to make that more useful there, too.
Editing out backgrounds/logos/etc. - no, not something we plan to do at this time, but would note that our OCR is pretty strong even with those in there, we are always looking for samples where we can improve though, if you have docs that you're having problems reading, please open a case and share with us!
Position - great suggestion, will look into it!
Thank you for all the questions and engagement with Syntex!
