๐ Key Concepts
Confidence Scoring
Definition: AI-generated probability score (0-100%) indicating extraction accuracy
Why it matters: Helps users identify which extractions need human review
Example: Name extraction at 95% confidence likely needs no review, while 60% confidence should be verified
Data Sources
Definition: Attribution of where extracted information originated
How it works: Speech (audio), Visual (images/video), Text (documents), Contextual (inferred), Combined (multiple sources)
Best practice: Use source information to verify accuracy and understand extraction context
Form Field Mapping
Definition: Automatic matching of extracted data to target form fields
Common uses: Mapping extracted names to โEmployee Nameโ field, dates to โIncident Dateโ field
Tips: Review mappings for accuracy, especially with complex forms containing similar fields
๐ก Common Use Cases
