10. Labeling result: the user can export the label result manually through the menu "File - Export Label", while the program will also export automatically if "File - Auto export Label Mode" is selected. The manually checked label will be stored in *Label.txt* under the opened picture folder. Click "File"-"Export Recognition Results" in the menu bar, the recognition training data of such pictures will be saved in the *crop_img* folder, and the recognition label will be saved in *rec_gt.txt*<sup>[4]</sup>.

### 2.2 Table Annotation
The table annotation is aimed at extracting the structure of the table in a picture and converting it to Excel format,
so the annotation needs to be done simultaneously with external software to edit Excel.
In PPOCRLabel, complete the text information labeling (text and position), complete the table structure information
labeling in the Excel file, the recommended steps are:
1. Table annotation: After opening the table picture, click on the `Table Recognition` button in the upper right corner of PPOCRLabel, which will call the table recognition model in PP-Structure to automatically label
the table and pop up Excel at the same time.
2. Change the recognition result: **label each cell** (i.e. the text in a cell is marked as a box). Right click on the box and click on `Cell Re-recognition`.
You can use the model to automatically recognise the text within a cell.
3. Mark the table structure: for each cell contains the text, **mark as any identifier (such as `1`) in Excel**, to ensure that the merged cell structure is same as the original picture.
4. Export JSON format annotation: close all Excel files corresponding to table images, click `File`-`Export table JSON annotation` to obtain JSON annotation results.
