What is name matcher tolerance level?
In BoldSign, the name matcher tolerance level is a crucial setting that enables users to define the degree of tolerance for matching the signer’s name with the name on the uploaded identification document. This setting provides users with flexibility in determining the strictness of the matching criteria. Below are the available options and their respective characteristics:
-
Strict: This option employs a strict set of rules when comparing the signer’s name with the name extracted from the uploaded document. It allows for very minimal variations and ensures precise matching accuracy.
-
Moderate: Utilizing moderate rules, this option permits variations in the middle, prefix, and suffix parts of the signer’s name compared to the name on the document. It offers a balance between strictness and flexibility in matching criteria.
-
Lenient: The lenient option adopts very relaxed rules for comparison, accommodating minor spelling mistakes or variations between the signer’s name and the name on the uploaded document. It prioritizes inclusivity and flexibility over precision.
