You can access these features with the Amazon Textract API, in the AWS Management Console, or using the AWS command-line interface (CLI).Īmazon Textract offers APIs that detect and extract printed text and handwriting from scanned images of documents, extract structured data such as tables, perform key-value pairing on extracted text, and separate APIs focused on extracting data from invoices, receipts, and identity documents.Īmazon Textract performs OCR using the Detect Document Text API, but goes a step further in the document analyzing process and also performs key-value pair detection so that text extractions remain organized in their intended structure. Also, all extracted data are returned with bounding box coordinates, which is a rectangular frame that fully encompasses each piece of data identified, so that you can quickly identify where a word or number appears on a document. For instance, if you are extracting information from tax documents you can set custom rules to flag any extracted information with a confidence score lower than 95%. When information is extracted from documents, the service returns a confidence score for each element it identifies so that you can make informed decisions about how you want to use the results. Amazon Textract's machine learning models have been trained on millions of documents so that virtually any document type you upload is automatically recognized and processed for text extraction. Amazon Textract is a document analysis service that detects and extracts printed text, handwriting, structured data (such as fields of interest and their values) and tables from images and scans of documents.
