Font smoothing enabled for Surface Automation

[SultanaRassoul]

Hello,  We have been developing several processes already by using Surface Automation to interact with the application. However, the font smoothing option was not disabled. We have not had any trouble so far and the processes work fine with no issues. For reading text, most of the time, global send keys are being sent to copy the field, and the GetClipboard() function to get the value to a data item. Is that a good practice though?  I was wondering what is the impact of keeping the font smoothing enabled? Are there instances when this can become a problem and prevent us from usign a particular funtionality of BP?  Thanks

Hello Sultana, if you can do it with Font Smoothing Enabled then keep your fingers crossed :). Anyway, as far as I can say the only missing feature you can't use is Character Matching - Blue Prism approach for recognizing characters which is different from OCR as it is either 100% sure or there is no match. Nothing between compared to OCR recognizing B instead of 8, etc. Regards,   Zdenek
