It is designed to expand on the extractor functionality of Grooper's regular expression pattern matching capabilities to include newer extraction capabilities, such as extracting values next to OMR (optical mark recognition) checkboxes and barcode values. In previous versions, this functionality was split across multiple objects (or properties of multiple objects). The Value Reader extractor combines these disparate functionalities into a single extractor object with increased functionality. This object forms the foundation for extracting information from a document, using a variety of different methods.
