Text Content Differences

Text content differences are detected whenever a text on the Source file does not match the one on the New file.

These differences are all identified individually: Case, Space, Insertion, Deletion, Change, Soft Hyphen, and Line Break.

  • Case differences are detected whenever a letter/word on the Source file is a different case than on the New file.

  • Space differences are detected whenever a space exists in the Source file but not in the New file.

  • Deletion differences are detected whenever text exists in the Source file but not in the New file.

  • Insertion differences are detected whenever text exists in the New file but not in the Source file.

  • Change differences are detected whenever a text on the Source file does not match the one on the New file.

Change Differences

When a change difference is selected, a Change Grid appears on the bottom left corner, displaying which characters are different in red.

The Change Grid will show all Change differences in more detail in the small pop-up window.

Screenshot 2024-10-11 at 21.05.16.png

For Right-To-Left text, like Arabic or Hebrew, switch the Change grid reading order display accordingly.

Screenshot 2024-10-11 at 21.00.04.png

Reading Order

Reading Order differences are detected whenever text in the Source and New files have a different reading order detected by the application, i.e., there is a reading order flow change in between the two documents.

Screenshot 2024-10-11 at 16.27.00.png

Typical examples of Reading Order differences would be any text repositioning between the two documents i.e relocation of a paragraph/sentence, or reordering a bulleted/numbered list/table.

Text Formatting Differences

All text formatting differences are grouped together by difference type.

Font Size, Font Type, and Font Color differences are detected whenever text in the Source file has text with font type, font size, or font color that is different from the text in the New file.

This is important to point out because when one of these differences is picked up, the Difference Card will show the mismatch alongside their respective values at the bottom.

See screenshots below for examples of Font Size, Font Type, and Font Color Differences respectively.

fontsize.png

fonttype.png

fontcolor.png

Bold, Italic, Sub/Super, and Underline differences are detected whenever text in the Source file has text with different letter settings and design compared to the New file.

Soft Hyphen differences are detected whenever a hyphen was added when a word is split in half onto the next line in the New file but not in the Source file.

Line Break differences are detected whenever a line break was added within a word in the New file but not in the Source file.


Spell Check Results

When Running a Comparison Inspection

Spell Check results are detected when errors are found in the New file according to the language selected in the Prep stage.

When Running a Single File “Proofreader Mode” Inspection

Spell Check results are also detected when running Proofreader Mode and when errors are found in the file according to the language selected in the Prep stage.

The Difference Card will then show alternatives to the misspelled word that you can hover over to get a full list of suggestions.

Screenshot 2024-12-11 at 11.13.41.png

Suggest Additions to Dictionaries

You now have the ability to suggest additions to dictionaries by clicking on the Screenshot 2024-11-25 at 14.55.26.png sign in the Difference Card.

By clicking on the addition button, the application admin will be notified of the suggestion, which will appear for them as a pending request.

Screenshot 2024-10-11 at 17.21.32.png

Admins will be able to either accept or reject the suggested word. If accepted, they can allocate the word to a corresponding dictionary .

If a word has been suggested as an addition to a dictionary, those Difference Cards will be moved to the Discarded Tab and will not show in the report of inspection differences. They will also be marked with a Screenshot 2024-10-11 at 17.27.34.png indicating it is awaiting approval from an Admin.

Screenshot 2024-10-11 at 17.29.57.png

AI Spell Check

AI Spell Check is a smart spell check tool that’s powered by AI. When you run a Spell Check, the results will be automatically categorized into four types: abbreviations, proper nouns, alphanumeric words, and general spelling errors, allowing you to filter through and understand results more easily.

To view the AI Spell Check categories and to adjust your results accordingly, click on the filter or Screenshot 2024-10-11 at 19.25.29.png icon.

Smart Discard Pile

The Smart Discard pile are suggested words for your dictionary that help reduce your overall difference count.

If the software detects that a word is not an actual error, it will automatically discard the difference/s into the Discarded Tab and suggest that you add the word to a Custom Dictionary to help reduce false positives and your overall difference count.

Graphics Differences

Like all other difference types, when Graphics differences are detected, they will appear on Difference List as a Difference Card.

Screenshot 2024-12-04 at 19.07.16.png

Graphics differences are displayed inside red boxes on both the Source and New Files.

To view individual Graphics differences, click on the respective Difference Card you wish to inspect in the Difference List. The software will automatically zoom into the Source and New Files, flashing the Graphics difference in the New Panel.

See below how to view your Graphics Differences results

viewinggraphicsresults.gif

To turn off Difference Boxes, Overlay, and Graphics Flashing, click the settings icon or Screenshot 2024-10-11 at 19.58.12.png and switch the toggle buttons off.

Graphics inspections will be affected by the visibility of the spot colors that were applied during the prep stage (i.e., only visible spot colors are inspected).

Communicating Graphics Differences

Graphics differences can be communicated using Graphics Annotations.

An annotation can be added using the comment box or by clicking on the Screenshot 2024-10-11 at 20.02.24.png icon.

Barcode and QR Code Results: Reading and Grading

When Barcode inspection is enabled, Verify will perform an automatic identification and grading of available barcodes and QR codes only in the New File.

Screenshot 2024-12-04 at 19.16.19.png

If no barcodes are detected on your files, a popup window will appear on the screen saying “No Barcodes found“.

Clicking on individual Difference Cards that you wish to inspect in the Difference List will zoom into the respective barcode or QR code.

The application will decode the value from the barcode or QR code automatically and show it in a pop-up window called Barcode Details.

The Barcode Details window can be expanded to show the barcode metadata when clicking the ^ button

image-20240116-195242.png

Note: As mentioned previously, this inspection is performed solely on the New document.


Braille Reading and Grading

When Braille inspection is enabled, Verify will perform an automatic identification and grading of available Braille only in the New File.

Screenshot 2024-12-04 at 19.30.17.png

The decoded value will be shown as a card on the bottom of the screen titled Braille Details.

Screenshot 2024-10-11 at 20.21.34.png
