General tab - Properties of Address Locator window

Address Locator icon The Address Locator finds addresses on structured, unstructured, and semi-structured machine-printed US documents. The individual elements of the address blocks are usually located close together and can span across a single horizontal line, or span two to seven lines forming a vertical block. This locator finds these blocks on all pages of a document and returns them as a list of alternatives. The alternatives include subfields for each individual piece of extracted information, such as the name, street, or city.

The General tab has the following settings.

Max. alternatives

Type a number to limit the number of alternatives that are returned by this locator. (Default: 20)

Min. confidence

Type a number or use the slider to specify the minimum confidence required for a match to be used as an alternative. Only matches with a confidence greater than this threshold are returned. (Default: 50)
