Hi, I have to validate signature in scanned image of form. The aim is not to validate content/name of signature as everyone has different signature. The intent is just to validate if something has been put in box next to signature.
I am looking for some suggestions if its possible to do such kind of validation with OCR/something equivalent and how?
Hi, Any inputs or suggestions on above scenario?

@Mayank Goyal Thanks, What worked really well was testing for the presence of a signature (basically an empty line versus a signature).
Form Understanding Layout API can help you for signature.

@Ramr-msft - Please help with some more details on how to approach it, do we need to create a custom model for form recognizer?
I am basically looking for a True or False with signature present or not. I don't need the OCR from signature as for lot of people signature will be a random shape not similar to any English alphabet
@Mayank Goyal Thanks for the details. Yes you can create a custom model using the form recognizer. you can also raise a user voice request here for the True or False with signature present or not feature to include in the form recognizer.so the community can vote and provide their feedback, the product team then checks this feedback and implements the feature in future releases.
