Precision Made Easier: Introducing Text Selection in Bounding Box Labeling

Labeling text in documents has always been a challenge — especially when you're dealing with complex, dense content. Utilizing bounding boxes, the process often felt like a balancing act: trying to select the right content, only to end up capturing too much or missing key details. That’s where the Text Selection comes in. This feature allows you to directly highlight and label specific words or phrases in documents, ensuring precision in every label. It makes your labeling tasks faster, more intuitive, and more accurate than ever before — giving you full control over every detail in your document, from dates and names to any critical data point.

How It Transforms Your Labeling Tasks

Let’s say you’re working on a project to extract specific data from a batch of documents. Using traditional bounding boxes, you’d often face the frustration of trying to adjust the box to fit neatly around text. The process becomes tedious, especially when you're dealing with tight spaces or closely packed data. But with Text Selection, you can simply highlight the text you need, ensuring you capture exactly what’s required — no extra content, no unnecessary adjustments.
