Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and embodiments related to interactively predicting fields in a form. A computer system received an image of a form. A user moves a cursor to a first field of the form, and the computer system automatically displays a predicted location of the field, including a bounding box that represents a boundary of the field. The computer system further predicts the field name/label based on text in the document. The user clicks on the field to indicate that he wants to digitize the field. When needed, the user interactively modifies the size of the bounding box that represents the extent of the field, changes the name/label of the field. Once finalized, the user can cause the field information (e.g., the bounding box coordinate, the bounding box location, the name/label of the field, etc.) to be written to a database.
