Setting the field type appropriately can enhance the recognition accuracy by providing information to the control regarding expected content. The FieldType Enumeration provides different predefined formats that the analyzed text could be defined.

Allowed values: GeneralText, Currency, CurrencyPlus, Date, Email, SocialSecurityNumber, Time, UnitedStatesPhoneNumber, URL, RegularExpression and DataValidationList

Default value: GeneralText

This is the input parameter for analyzing a filed where as the FieldType in the TextBlockResult is the output.

This setting is best to be used combining with appropriate CharacterSet settings.

This setting can be supplemented by providing custom regular expressions to the field type of interest.
