# Annotate Faster with Box Suggestions – LumiScan Annotation Web

Correcting a suggested box is much faster than drawing it. With a box suggestion service, LumiScan Annotation Web asks your trained network for boxes on the open image; you only check and correct them.

## The loop

1. Annotate the first few hundred images by hand.
2. Train a network with LumiScan Training.
3. Copy the exported network into the box suggestion service (see [Box Suggestion Service](https://docs.hdvisionsystems.com/en/lumiscan-annotation-web/2.2.0/box-suggestion-service.html)).
4. Annotate the next images with suggestions: accept, correct, add what is missing.
5. Train again with the larger data set. Every round makes the suggestions better.

For parts without a network yet, the service can run an open-vocabulary detector that finds objects by the names of the labels.

## 1. Choose the network for the project

A project admin opens **Settings** and, under **Box suggestions**, chooses the **Network** of the project. If the service has only one network, it is used without choosing. Also set:

- **Suggest from confidence %**: suggestions below are left out (default 30 %).
- **At most boxes per image**: default 50.

## 2. Get suggestions

Open an image and click **Suggest boxes** (`P`). After a moment, the suggestions appear as **dashed boxes** with their confidence:

Boxes already on the image and suggestions outside the region of interest are not suggested again.

## 3. Accept, correct or discard

- **Correct** a suggestion (move, resize, rotate, change the label): it is accepted.
- Select a suggestion and press `Enter`: it is accepted as it is.
- Right-click: it is deleted.
- **Accept all** / **Discard** handle all remaining suggestions.

![Seven suggested boxes not accepted yet. Correcting one, or Enter on the selected one, accepts it. Buttons Accept all and Discard](https://docs.hdvisionsystems.com/en/lumiscan-annotation-web/2.2.0/_images/screens/suggestions-bar.png)

If you save with suggestions still open, you are asked whether to accept them or leave them out. Suggestions are never saved by themselves.

> [!TIP]
> Check every suggestion, also those with a high confidence. A network trained on corrected suggestions repeats its own mistakes if they are not corrected.
