Since its preview release in May 2019, Azure Form Recognizer has attracted thousands of customers to extract text, key and value pairs, and tables from documents to accelerate their business processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, we&#8217;re sharing the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/cognitive-services\/form-recognizer\/whats-new\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">new Form Recognizner features<\/a> that are available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"updates-for-azure-form-recognizer\">Updates for Azure Form Recognizer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Form Recognizer March release is a major update that includes many new features our customers have asked for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Customization<\/strong>: The service now supports training with and without labels, which makes it easier for customers to reliably extract valuable information from their forms. The APIs have also been redesigned as long-running operations to improve support for larger customer data sets. Automatic detection of key value pairs and table extraction have been enhanced and improved. A new sample labeling tool UX container will help customers label data more efficiently and extract the values of interest. \u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/7dcac609-e870-4bfd-8242-45e2a67adb7a.webp\" alt=\"Form Recognizer Custom showing Train with Labels, Form Recognizer Sample Labeling Tool\" style=\"border-radius:0px\" title=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Form Recognizer Custom: Train with Labels, Form Recognizer Sample Labeling Tool.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, Form Recognizer Sample Labeling Tool is <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/microsoft\/OCR-Form-Tools\/blob\/master\/README.md#run-as-web-application\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">now available as an open source project<\/a>.
