Recognize Checkbox and Signature sections
We have a number of paper forms that are completed by staff. The forms include checkboxes. We need to confirm that the checkboxes have been checked.
Additionally, we require the form to be signed by the person completing it. We'd like to confirm that a mark has been made in the signature area.
It would be great if there was a way that Form Recognizer could just register that a pen mark has been made in a certain area, even if it can't read it (e.g. a signature or a tick in a box)

Checkbox extraction is available in Form Recognizer 2.1 release.

Hi any news when Check boxes can be recognised by Azure Form Recogniser? It was supposed to be released in Aug i think.

That sounds interesting Nikhil, can you share how you did that?
I have made a talk about Form Recognizer and added a rough process on how I solved it for now. (from slide 36)

We were also searching for the checkboxes recognition feature. In the absence of such a feature we have developed and deployed a solution for ACORD checkboxes.

I was wondering about that too.
I have currently invested over 20 hours on just radio and checkbox recognition. 🤣
It's not as easy as it seems and it only works for the specific form I built, so I proper solution would be much appreciated. 😅 -

I see that on the labeling tool the “selection marks” layer appears, but is not recognizing any checkbox yet. Do I need to do something to enable it? (use a Docker image preview…)

I'm trying to parse ACORD insurance forms which are produced by various software vendors which use different techniques for marking check boxes. Sometimes they use X, sometimes a graphic "X" and sometimes they using graphic check mark. Ideally I would want to identify a given box on the form as a check box and have a value returned of true/false as to whether there was any kind of mark inside of the box.
