While using Layout in the Document Intelligence Studio the OCR on a table does not recognize fractions. Is there a way to customize the OCR to recognize the stacked fractions and convert them to a number slash number like 1/4, 3/8, 7/8?

    @Tom Tucker The Read & Layout models support formula extraction but, in this case, the stacked fractions are still not being recognized. So, I don't think it is possible to use them with the current pre-built models. Formula detection is an add-on feature that is able to recognize slashed fractions clearly though. See the below image from studio where the extraction is successful.

    Enabling the setting from studio:
