Those uploaded forms are read by Sahana Eden server(s) and the recognised text is then made ready for review by the volunteer who can verify and check for errors (if any) and finally submit it.

     39
     40In the other field you can see there are two options:
     41i) `Image File(s), One image per page`
     42ii) `Single PDF File`
     43
     44If you have multiple image files, that is one image file per page, which would mean one image file for a single page form then select the first option.
     45
     46If you have a single PDF file which has all pages of the form in sequence the select the second option.
     47

     65
     66Once you submit a scanned form, it will take few minutes to properly detect and read the text data using OCR. each page takes around 20 seconds to 40 seconds. Depending upon the number of pages in the form say `N` pages, this process will take minimum 20*N seconds to 40*N seconds.
     67
     68After OCRing is complete a page will be displayed. which will have all fields which were on the paper based form and corresponding input box image from the original form. This is called Review User Interface, here you (or Volunteer) can update the fields with correct data. If any field is unreadable and you do not want to include it in data submission then you can simply click on the `ignore` button against the field. If you want to clear a field the simply `click` on the ignore button against the field.
