Customise extraction to your forms

When you’re working with documents that deviate from traditional formats, such as industry-specific materials, you often need to build your own solution. The custom extraction capabilities in Form Recognizer help you overcome this challenge by training on your own data based on just five documents. Not only is the first output more reliable and tailored to your needs, but you can also provide human inputs to create a highly accurate model customised to your forms.
Apply Form Recognizer anywhere, from the cloud to the edge

Recognise forms on the edge, on-premises and in the cloud with container support in Azure Cognitive Services. The portable architecture can be deployed directly to Azure Kubernetes Service or Azure Container Instances, or to a Kubernetes cluster deployed to Azure Stack. Use the REST interface of the Form Recognizer API to then integrate into cognitive search indexes, automate business processes and create custom workflows for your business.

Analyse forms and documents

Make data-driven decisions by extracting data from tables and forms, and putting it into your data visualisation service for analysis.
Create intelligent search indexes

Easily find specific information in your documents and forms, such as total accounts payable, by integrating Form Recognizer with Azure Cognitive Search.
Automate business workflows

Extract text, key-value pairs and tables from forms and receipts, and pipe them into your back-end systems to perform tasks such as claim, invoice and receipt processing.
Privacy and security

Form Recognizer keeps your data private. The custom training performed on your documents is not used by Microsoft to improve the Form Recognizer model.
You control your data. Using containers, you choose where Form Recognizer processes your data – supporting consistency in hybrid environments across data, management, identity and security.
Form Recognizer is part of Azure Cognitive Services, backed by Azure infrastructure and enterprise-grade security, availability, compliance and manageability.

Frequently asked questions about Form Recogniser

Form Recognizer, now in preview, is available in several Azure regions, with availability expanding in the near future.
Form Recognizer supports printed and handwritten forms, PDFs and images.
Form Recognizer is available in English, with additional language availability growing.
The custom option uses five samples to learn the structure of your forms and intelligently extract text and data tailored to your documents. The prebuilt option doesn’t use samples; it detects and extracts data such as merchant name, subtotal, tax and transaction total from receipts using optical character recognition (OCR) and our receipt model.
Layout extracts text using high-definition optical character recognition (OCR) tailored for documents. It also extracts the structures of tables (row and column numbers).
